REVIEW "All the parts together make an appealing and fun way for
youngsters to interact with the alphabet, and for slightly older
children to enjoy the clever artwork." -School Library Journal,
starred review "The straightforward vocabulary, cheery
vintage-style graphics, and neat incorporation of cut-out letters
make for a sharply designed package." -Publishers Weekly "With a
pleasing, retro feel, Peskimo's art uses bold colors in a slightly
muted hue and the weathered look of woodblock prints... A visually
captivating delight for careful little ones." -Kirkus Reviews
"While it's graphically sophisticated enough to please adults,
little children can happily flip through this book on their own."
-The New York Times "The baby, toddler or nursery-schooler who
tears the gift wrapping off Christopher Franceschelli's Alphablock
may think that she has just opened a toy, for how lively and
tactile the thing in her hands will be." -The Wall Street
