children's Literature

from The Lemonade And Lobster Pots On The Cover To The Mussels And Windsurfers Inside, Readers Are Transported To The World Of Daily Life At The Seashore. Each Letter Of The Alphabet Is Accompanied By Crowded Norman Rockwell-style Paintings. Although Each Letter Features An Entire Sentence Of Words Beginning With That Letter, There May Be Too Many Advanced Words For Young Readers Still Learning Their Letters--avid Anglers, Imposing Icebergs Idle In Inlets, Puffins Prosper In Perilous Places. There Is A Very Thorough Glossary As Well As A List Of Items Beginning With Each Letter That Youngsters Can Search For In The Appropriate Picture. It Would Also Have Been Helpful, However, To Have A Pronunciation Guide For Such Names As Musquodoboit And Kejimkujik. 2000, Tundra Books, Ages 5 To 8, $19.99. Reviewer: Karen Leggett
