A romp through the alphabet as you would expect from the master. ALPHABET TRAIN (which I haven’t seen yet) is the followup book.Īnd, of course, there is the classic Dr. Vamos’ ALPHABET TRUCKS, illustrated by Ryan O’Rourke is full of fun rhymes about kinds of trucks that start with every letter in the alphabet. BOOK is a very clever prehistoric take on the alphabet. There are plenty of good or great alphabet books, too. Maybe because they can be too tutorial-like. Maybe it is because they are rarely woven into a storyline or have an arc but are just a banal assembly of words that start with a particular letter. Some are agonizing in their yawn-inducing lessons about letters. And few are compelling enough for multiple reads. I don’t necessarily gravitate towards them because, whatever their concept, I’m usually certain I’ve seen it before. Alphabet books are staples in this industry that I often miss.
