good stuff, in terms of design. but effectiveness as a alphabet book im not too sure, clutter. too many things. like A is i think aeroplane with a croc in the foreground. but e is elephant i gather. so unless someone sits with the kid and tells them what everthing in A is, i dont see how helpful it will be.
@soo: this is discrimination against kids who dont have parents or whose parents dont bother to spend time with them. and its a big demographic. plus in terms of design, how many kids would have really seen a crocodile or a lighthouse. i strongly object to this pandering to elite uberurban kids. education esp. such basic levels, must be accessible to all. i shall take this forward with the publisher. good bye.
i love the colours… will have to buy the book to look at illustrations full size. i think this book will do spendidly for gown-ups as well! (not implying that i’m a grown-up!)

make them funny. make them wild. make them trippy. make them “oh so you”. but make them sometime and dedicate them to me. i will buy a deck i promise.
