I was pleasantly surprised at how easily the entire alphabet fit into this ABC concept book. Only “X” (ax) and “Z” ( Oz) did not appear as the first letter of the word for the letter being represented. “ Letter A is for Aunt Em. B is for a balloon ride. A cyclone spins a letter C. D is Dorothy no surprise! ”      ( pages 4-5) Notice how the color pops out and matches the ‘letter’ and the letter in the word.

Timothy Banks light-hearted characters are darling.

If I were to change anything, I would have the word ‘straw’  on the S page and the word ‘Winkies‘ on the W page begin with the colored letter,  in addition to ‘scarecrow’ and  ‘wicked witch of the West.’

A quick one paragraph retelling of the Wizard of Oz  story is told at the end of the alphabet.

AND by checking the book’s Index the entire list of ABC words is recapped.
