The Alphabet Parade

I read The Alphabet Parade by Charles Ghigna, illustrated by Ag Jatkowska
I received a free ARC through NetGalley
4 Stars


This was a very cute book with colorful illustrations and great rhyming. There was a fun variety of different animals, from dogs and leopards to Kinkajou and unicorns. There were also acrobats and queens along the way. I absolutely love the illustrations. They look just like the ones on the cover. 

I don't normally read ABC books in story time, but this one would probably work well. The rhymes make it great for that purpose. I really wish it had an ending similar to the beginning. The beginning of the book says "The Alphabet Parade! Oh, what a sight to see! A big parade of letters all the way from A to Z." The book ends with the line about Z, and that's it. A simple last stanza would have made this book perfect.
