Ellsworth's Extraordinary Electric Ears: And Other Amazing Alphabet Anecdotes

40 pp. | Atheneum/Schwartz | June, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-689-85030-1 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Starting with "Alistair had an alarming appetite for acrobats," this unusual alphabet book presents photographs of offbeat, alliterative scenes: toys, paper backgrounds, and sculpted people and food in quirky, surrealistic juxtapositions. Readers can search for objects that begin with the featured letter, although some photos have more objects than others, leading to an unbalanced feel.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
