Alligator, Bear, Crab: A Baby's ABC by Lesley Wynne Pechter. 2011. 24 pgs. Victoria, BC: Orca Book Publishers. 9781554693603. Format reviewed: Board Book.
Annotation: All different animals are shown, from A to Z.
Reaction: Like many alphabet concept books, the illustrations are the major attraction in the title. There is a definite Pacific Northwest flavor, with many wild animals familiar to me (a native Washingtonian) pictured, including moose, loons, orca, porcupine, quails, ravens, seals, and wolves. The color pallet is bright and soft, and uses acrylics to convey a sense of innocence and ease.
Primary early literacy skills: Letter Knowledge. Using the alphabet as the guide to show different animals, each animal’s first letter is large and colorful, reinforcing the letter and sequence to the reader.
Recommended ages: 1 and up.
