Once Upon an Alphabet: Short Stories for All the Letters | |
* "An altogether stimulating, surprising, and satisfying reading experience."–School Library Journal, starred review
* "Whimsical, funny, occasionally tragic, and highly entertaining, this collection of (sometimes) interlocking tales is brilliantly inventive."–Horn Book, starred review
"Jeffers knows how to catch the attention of his young audience while challenging their imagination, intellect and vocabulary. This whimsical exploration of letters and language begs to be read over and over again."–BookPage
"Handsome, humorous and clad in bright tomato-red, [this] is the sort of book you may want to rush into the arms of imaginative, good-natured children between 4 and 10 years old. [T]his is no traditional abecedarian exercise.The stories are wonderfully varied, sometimes philosophical and often end surprisingly; the drawings are just as quirky and unpredictable."–The Wall Street Journal
"[W]itty from A to Z . . . no one would blame you for having a copy even if there are no kids in the house. Think of it as Edward Gorey for the preschool set — and their hip parents."–The Washington Post

My son is 5 and reads at 2nd grade level, so he had no issues reading the book. He was quite puzzled at the stories though and none of them made him laugh even though he has a good sense of humor, sometimes I hear him reading by himself WTP stories and laughing out loud. Maybe it's made for kids that learn to read later because the reading level and the level of the jokes does not fit. Or maybe I misunderstood and it's made for adults.
He found it actually sad that the cup kept on breaking apart, being glued and looking ugly. I personally enjoyed it but my son and his mom did not find it funny at all. De gustibus.
I love the concept and the graphics but not sure the content is the best for a 3 year old. E.g., the Letter "D" is about a death, disaster etc. some of the other content is pretty dark. I like variation in what I read to my toddler and am OK that it isn't all fairies and butterflies but this one seems dark for no apparent reason (kind of random)
It wasn't exactly what I expected from Jeffers. We LOVED the book STUCK and decided to purchase this one because my son love ABC books. We also didn't expect this book to be so bulky. It almost looks like a textbook. My 6 year old who LOVES alphabets and owns every alphabet books in the universe (almost and not exaggerated) didn't want to read this ABC book. I was really surprise. However, we still LOVE Jeffers, and will purchase his next book. We hope to be alot more hillarious than this one.
