Meh. It's fun to see an alphabet book where verbs are the starting letter as opposed to nouns. But it also wasn't a super great book either.

Good and life affirming but not my favorite. I'm not familiar with Krauss's work and have never been a big fan of Ruzzier's artwork so it might be that I just lack the emotional investment.

This is a pretty cute book full of nonsense that would surely entertain toddlers and get their imaginations working.

I enjoy an interesting ABC book and this fits the bill. Cute illustrations with fun, sometimes nonsensical sentences for each letter of the alphabet.

Nonsense? I don't get it?
I guess it's jubilant and plays with words and the pictures with the text are sometimes amusing. Pass.

A silly and unique alphabet book. Best for one-on-one stories.

This is an interesting alphabet book, not what I thought it would be. I didn't know it was an alphabet book, but its Ruth Krauss. Each letter is like a zen koan, "roar like a dandelion". Each one is something like that. It turns ideas on their heads.
The artwork is cute and I feel muted in the colors. This is very short and easy to read. I don't know that it really says all that much. I bet toddlers would enjoy it though. Nonsense is wonderful for kids.
Good news: I got this book from curbside pickup at my library. It's open again. I'm so thankful to be able to get books again. Yes!
