Summary: The art work is charming, and the the elves multcultural.
Review: I bought the book for the art work first. Then I found that trying to name all the things very stimulating for adults as well as children. Each person in my family took turns with a page and tried to guess what all the items were according to the letter of the page. The short sentences are fun, when you try to say them fast. We made a game of that too. We really enjoyed this book a great deal.

Summary: A truly unique alphabet
Review: I love Jane Yolen, but wondered how she was going to pull off an alphabet book. After all, we're just talking about the ABCs, right?In (...)Elfabet(...), Yolen imagines all sorts of elves working their way through the alphabet. Each elf has its own poem, describing the action on the page alliteratively. Lovingly illustrated by Lauren Mills, children can look through the pictures to find other words on the page that begin with the chosen letter. Our hands-down favorite is L-(...)the Lazy Lolipop Elf. This book has helped my daughter with her alphabet, as well as her puzzle-solving skills, and it's funny to boot.

Summary: kids seem to love it!
Review: I sent this to my 2 1/2 year old goddess daughter for Yule. Last night she told me that she loves it and she kisses each fairy (elf) good night every night (her mother confirmed it). It's become her favorite book...
