Best part: the end papers where non-english letters complain that they were not included in the book.

This is a good example of one of those books that poses as a children's book, but isn't one. I mean, the text is not children-friendly; it features difficult words that don't even rhyme all of the time. There is alliteration, but that doesn't really mean alot to a kid when he doesn't know what is being said. The sentences are a stretch, at best. The illustrations are alright; basically, to me, this book was written for the gratification of the author, or for adults who think Steve Martin is so funny that they want their children to appreciate him, too. And... they're not going to.

Very clever tongue twisters for every letter of the alphabet...tricky to read when you are sleepy!

I'm a sucker for alphabet books, but I especially enjoyed this one. I loved how each page had extra stuff that you can point out to kids as they get older. It was a cute, quirky take on the alphabet book.

Very innovative ABC book, the pictures add a lot with great little asides and lots of other representations of the letters. The rhyming of the small poems does not work all the time.
