Quilt Alphabet

(4) PS Illustrated by James E. Ransome. For each letter in this country-themed alphabet book, a quatrain and an oil painting invite readers to guess the word that starts with that letter (kettle, leaves, mailboxes). The poems are too oblique for the alphabet crowd to decipher easily, but the paintings are masterful, and the answers are in the back for easy reference. Each highlighted letter appears in a painted quilt-like block.
