There’s so much to discover in this ingenious book! Read the funny rhyming text, lift the flaps, and learn the letters of the alphabet. And when you’re finished, flip the book and have fun with the play scene on the reverse! The fun format and signature bold artwork from Ingela P. Arrhenius makes this a great choice for learning ABCs and imaginative play.[Alphabet Street features] groovy, buoyant art in a softly tropical palette… For many parents the key will be the subtle diversity and modern feel of the creators’ choices. Dads as well as moms cook, clean and care for children; the clothing is not gender-stereotyped; someone uses a wheelchair; and the animals’ fur colors range from dark to light... Another plus: The whole city folds out accordion-style, so you can stand it up to play.

He is the author of more than sixty books, including Bringing Down the Moon and The Princess and the Pig, and his work has been translated into more than thirty languages. He likes building things and taking things apart, playing games and solving puzzles, and letting his imagination run riot.
