Three
friends in a large library with a ladder (OMG, A LIBRARY LADDER!) and a shiny
magic book on the top shelf, bring Once Upon An A To Z to life in the
most delightful of ways.
Abracadabra!
Alakazoo!
Bubbily, bobbily, boffity, boo!
Clutch your
cauldrons and crystal balls,
Dance with
dragons down the halls…
Taking the reader on a journey through magical places with mythical creatures,
this foray into fantasy lands will make childhood dreams sing and flutter even
more brightly.
Castles, fairies,
mermaids, starships, unicorns, magic carpets and more – there are colourful,
intricate, beautiful illustrations to pore over and words to knock your socks
off.
The rhyming
text is bold and fun, zany and zappy, and reading it aloud is pure joy. Even
the words themselves dance around on the page, bringing movement and fun from beginning
to end.
Once Upon
An A to Z begs to be
read out loud and is a veritable smorgasbord of pleasing words, sounds,
pictures and joy.
It embodies
and celebrates all of the very best things to be found from sharing books.
Highly
recommended.
