Book Reviews of A is for Annabelle

Book Review: A to Z a Wonderful Rich Beautiful Book
Summary: 5 Stars

I received this book as a present when I was about six years old. I came across this book the other day and I realized that I still have the entire book memorized! The book tells the story of a child going through the "b"ox on the chest in in hall" that contains her grandmother's doll and all the wonderful costumes and accessories of the Victorian doll completely in rhyme. The pictures are too beautiful for words. From Annabelle's "J"acket that she wears in the fall" to her "H"at with a elegant feather" this is a wonderful book to read aloud to a child and the beauty of the book will interest a young reader that would normally be too old for alphabet books. By the Way... I still have "A" is for Annabelle

Summary of A is for Annabelle

Learn the alphabet from A to Z with the help of Annabelle the doll. Each gorgeously illustrated spread features one of her favorite things. With antique boxes, parasols, and yarn for knitting, children can learn the alphabet in grand style.
Young children will welcome the return of a classic from the mother of children's illustrators, Tasha Tudor. A Is for Annabelle is a quaint, old-fashioned alphabet book graced with Tudor's intricately detailed, highly appealing illustrations. Annabelle is a china doll that belonged to Grandmother. Two little girls play their way through the alphabet, dressing up this lovely doll ("H is her Hat with an elegant feather") all the way through X ("the letter for which I've no rhyme"), Y ("the Yarn her stockings to mend"), and Z ("her Zither and this is the end"). Alternating black-and-white illustrations with full-color spreads, Tudor surrounds each page with a graceful floral border and includes such charming details as a sewing basket with a pincushion, a cricket peering at a pink patchwork quilt, and the tiny boxes containing Annabelle's hats, slippers, and earrings. Little girls will find Annabelle and her alphabetical wardrobe irresistible.

Tasha Tudor is the Caldecott Honor artist of 1 Is One and more than 90 other well-loved picture books. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
