Alphabet Soup: A Feast of Letters

Summary: Whimsical "Alphabet Soup" is a Treat
Review: "Alphabet Soup" is a beautifully-illustrated, whimsical book that beginning readers will enjoy. Unlike other alphabet books, this book encourages discussion about animals and foods, as well as some pretty funny situations. My favorite letter in the book is "W" for "Wing Walking Weenies", with hot dogs doing death-defying tricks on the wings of a biplane! It's the best! A highly-recommended book.

Summary: breathtaking
Review: I am a Scott Gustafson fan and so is my husband and my nearly 3-year-old son. We bought this book as a Christmas gift for my son at a local gallery (as well as couple of others and a print) two years ago. I too had a hard time finding it at chain bookstores. This is by far my son's most favorite book--not only did he learn all his letters from it, but he tests his parents knowledge by asking us questions from the book, ie, "What does the zebra bring for the soup? Zuchini!" I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in original and intelligent art.

Summary: I thought it would be better based on reviews :(
Review: I bought this book for my four year old daughter being it received high reviews on Amazon. I was a little disappointed. About mid story, my daughter was bored with the whole concept and pretty much wanted to go on to reading another book. The illustrations are beautiful and detailed but I think it would be better for ages kindegarten and up rather than preschool or younger. Sorry...

Summary: Not just for children anymore.
Review: I have seen so many of Scott Gustafson's works in his books, as well as his art, that I am still amazed by each new concept he comes up with. ALPHABET SOUP is full of beautiful and awe-inspiring pictures, that, as you read it with your children or on your own, you are able to loose yourself in the fantasy of its realm. Whether you are 2 or 200, you can not help but smile. A fantastic, whimsical journey through the animal kingdom's cookbook.

Summary: A Beautiful Book
Review: We were givin this book last Christmas to read to our baby and have now bought it for a housewarming gift. This is a beautiful, whimsical book that will delight all ages. I'm glad that Amazon.com carries it because we've found that NOBODY shelves it in stock, which is a shame because I think more people would love this book if they saw it on the shelves. The paintings are simply fantastic, and the words delight even our little 16 month old.
