Engaging, fun read!,

This book was so fun! My 6 year old was all over this book. She interacted with the names of the animal-instruments, the crazy combinations of the animals and instruments, and what the "real" animal and instruments names are - some of which were new to her. She recited the alpahbet to make sure all the letters were included, she pointed out the really funny ones to her sister, and she totally enjoyed the book from beginning to end. She loved the silliness of the pictures and had a great time explaining to me how the animals matched up with the instruments. I honestly don't think we've had this much fun with a book in awhile.
I, as a parent, loved it myself. It was beyond creative, and it seemed to have a jazzy, Cajun style to it, which I loved. The illustrations were fun, and beautiful.
We will be reading this book over and over again. (And it doesn't hurt that the author and I attended the same college!)

An Alphabet Book with Real Imagination!,

Such a delightful and imaginative alphabet romp. I know this will have the kids in my library storytime poring over the lush and captivating art that brings this fun concept to life and letting their own imaginations run wild too. I have a feeling this one will be one of those books parents are asked to read again and again.
