Customer Reviews

romping, lyrical, delightful and will be much-loved!

This rhyming, rollicking story is delightful and reminds me of more old-fashioned stories from my youth. It is simple and straight-forward, yet absolutely skilled in its use of capital letters to emphasize the letters of the alphabet and how they are used within the context of a memorable story of a girl riding a horse across the countryside. A is for Amos will definitely be a hit with your preschoolers and learning to read children. I have ordered several copies for our library in Oklahoma! Bravo!
