OverviewThis is the world premiere of Chris Raschka and Vladimir's Radunsky's delightfully quirky alphabet book Alphabum, which pairs silly poetic triplets inspired by each letter of the alphabet with adorable antique photos of children. A New York Review Children's Collection Original An ALPHABET book? An ALBUM of old photos? We named it ALPHABETABUM. Here celebrated artists and authors Vladimir Radunsky and Chris Raschka put a delightful new old-fashioned spin on the alphabet book. Radunsky has selected portraits of children from his spectacular collection of antique black and-white photographs. Raschka has given the children names and written deliciously teasing rhymes about them. The result is ALPHABETABUM, a book of letters and pictures to which readers will happily return again and again both to look and to learn.
