How has this book missed everyone's radar? MacDonald provides an imaginative ABC book reliant solely on noises, sounds, and expressions. Not only are the illustrations perfectly complimentary (well, they obviously need to be in an ABC book) but MacDonald mixes up the flow of the text without disrupting the humor. Where a buoyant, rhythmic text might get grating and boring in a book like this, MacDonald is able to provide enough variety and cohesion for a truly stellar ABC book.
