With thick pages cut into the shape of each letter, children and parents will enjoy this peek-through guessing game around the letterform itself. Sprinkles, hot fudge, and cherries hint at Iâs ice cream sundae, while aquarium accessories hint at Fâs fish. As readers interact with the pages, they will familiarize themselves not only with the 26 letters and associated words, but also with each letterâs physicalityâangles, holes, and curves, both front and back. With Peskimoâs animated, stylish visuals, this fresh ABC book encourages readers to manipulate the alphabet in a whole new way. Note: illustrations have a retro feel, with imperfect variations in color and texture.
Also available: A BOX OF BLOCKS, featuring Alphablock, Countablock, and Dinoblock.
Praise for Alphablock
STARRED REVIEW
"All the parts together make an appealing and fun way for youngsters to interact with the alphabet, and for slightly older children to enjoy the clever artwork."
âSchool Library Journal, starred review
"The straightforward vocabulary, cheery vintage-style graphics, and neat incorporation of cut-out letters make for a sharply designed package."
âPublishers Weekly
"With a pleasing, retro feel, Peskimoâs art uses bold colors in a slightly muted hue and the weathered look of woodblock prints⦠A visually captivating delight for careful little ones."
âKirkus Reviews
"While itâs graphically sophisticated enough to please adults, little children can happily flip through this book on their own."
âThe New York Times
"The baby, toddler or nursery-schooler who tears the gift wrapping off Christopher Franceschelli's Alphablock may think that she has just opened a toy, for how lively and tactile the thing in her hands will be."
âThe Wall Street Journal
