 Good Charley Harper 'beginner' book or great for kids July 2, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Slightly less gorgeous than I had envisaged from the pics on Amazon. This is because it's a board book, so the colours are a little duller than if it was printed on paper stock. Plus I find I get less tactile pleasure from a board book as compared to a hardback (maybe cos I'm not three years old?).
Still, Charley Harper's designs don't disappoint, and this is a reasonably priced 'entry level' book for those wishing to learn more about his work.
 incredible artist June 29, 2008
I have always loved the illustrations of Charlie Harper and this children's book is no exception. You and your child will love it.
Excellent book for anyone! June 15, 2008
I've been keeping an eye on the release of this book and it was worth the wait!
This is a very fun book with a clever and funny mix of some of Charley Harper's most notable images. Each time you open the book, there is a classic picture that will make you want to go through the whole book.
Delightful for any age and an excellent gift for any Charley Harper fan.

I loved this book! The illustrations of animals on each spread are graceful works of art. The delicate use of line, color and shape sometimes looks Japanese, sometimes like a collage made of construction paper. Others are loose pen-and-ink drawings.
You can tell the late Charley Harper loved animals, as his affection for them jumps off the page. There is so much personality! In D is for Dog, the smiling spaniel has dirt on his nose and legs, and you can almost see him panting. In I is for Iguana, two giant lizards battle for a captive tiny pig, swinging their tails and rearing up. Q is for Quail shows whirring wings on a fat and happy bird.
The inside covers show a collage of dozens of other Harper animals, most of which are not used in the book.
The board book itself is a little more sturdy than most. It will hold up well.
Charley Harper's ABC's is an outstanding way to introduce fine artwork to young children. Other good choices include Zen Ties and Walt Disney's Cinderella.
Beautiful ABC board book June 11, 2008
This ABC book is beautifully illustrated. Pleasing for both a child and adult to look at.
The one thing that strikes me as strange is that the whole book follows the "A is for Ape, B is for Bird" pattern until you get to "N is for Nest", then "U is for Underwater???", "W is for Web" and "X- how many X's Can You Find?". It would have been nice to have animals on all the pages.. well I guess X is a bit hard. Perhaps they didn't have any illustrations from Charley Harper to fit those pages?
But otherwise I love this book. Would even look good on the coffee table!
