The Artful Alphabet

By Martina Jirankova-Limbrick and Martina J-Limbrick

Sure to charm children and collectors alike, this artful alphabet book promises a new discovery each time one opens its whimsy-filled pages. "A" is for the amazing abundance of art in this addictive alphabet book! Fine artist Martina Jirankova-Limbrick fills each page with a playful profusion of objects, characters, shapes, and scenes, each one standing for, starting with, or formed by a featured letter (don't miss the swarm of "b"s flying by a hot-air balloon). An appealing, harlequin-like girl and an acrobatic dog lead a lighthearted journey from A to Z, while a final spread lists words to be found in the artwork, luring readers to return on a search for more hidden surprises.

Customer Reviews

beautiful and creative

Illustrations are beautiful. Children and I like finding the hidden words and discovering the creative ways the letters and words were incorporated into the drawings. Highly recommended.
