I will spare you the gross imagery of G is for Gross (except for that cover, sorry), but I am talking about it in case you have a very, very, very (did I say very?) warped sense of humor. Greg Paprocki’s board book is probably best for adults as we cover some of the grossest things in the alphabet. We get vomit, dirty diapers, “ew” (see birds above), and a fart. We even get toxic (for tricky X; toXic is how it is presented). There […]

I think the publisher description has more text than the actual book. That is because it is an alphabet board book.

Seriously, this new picture book How to Track an Easter Bunny by Sue Fliess (with some out there illustrations by Simona Sanfilippo) is a “you will love or “eh” this book” kind of book. The rhyming text and the sugar popping Easter colors will make it or break it for you. It is politically correct (the Easter Bunny she) and the text is modern but does has a slight classical feel. The […]

L Is for Love: A Heartfelt Alphabet by Greg Paprocki

by Leave a Comment

L is for Love: A Heartfelt Alphabet is one of those odd little gems that looks like it is from 1950 but is very 2018. The illustrations show you the alphabet of love and friendship. The illustrations are casually modern. Nothing is forced, and things flow with the diversity of people (bi-racial copy, people of color). In fact, the P is for Poetry shows the girl reciting “How do I love thee?” (Or I assume she is…. She is kneeling, with paper in hand, boy […]
