Reviews

""Valtierra maintains a pleasant cadence from verse to verse thanks to an evenhanded approach, ranging from softly deferential...to dizzily humorous... overall, this alphabet chronicle shares its enthusiasm for language rather generously. Employing an Aztec codex style, the artist injects an anarchic spirit into his colorful artwork. Merrily edifying.""
