For us, there's nothing more satisfying than a quality ABC book and this is a refreshingly different offering. Textile artist, Jane Foster brings us a beautifully bold, retro-inspired trip through the alphabet. With the use of vivid colour and thick black lines, each object immediately jumps off the page. It features both the traditional and some of the less obvious ABC's, such as this sumptuously coloured armadillo. Foster's clever and sympathetic selection of palette, coupled with the luxuriously shiny finish on each image, makes this durable board book a perfect gift for a toddler or emerging reader. The tactile nature of this book, makes it almost impossible to put down. The cleverly selected muted tones of the backgrounds against the vibrant colours of the main image, makes this a visually strong book and in turn, a great introduction for a younger audience, to their ABC's. Easily identifiable imagery, with a strong, stylish graphical element will win over its youngest and oldest readers. Adults will appreciate the style and children will thoroughly enjoy getting to grips with these bright and bold ABC's. -- Sarah Yewman Picturebooksblogger A beautiful alphabet primer from the textile designer, no wonder this board book is something you won't mind left lying around on the sofa. -- Justine Crow Families South East London magazine
