Overview / 简介: |
| "In a delightful and unusual book, a boy trots down Market Street buying presents for a friend, each one starting with a letter of the alphabet. Every letter is illustrated by a figure ingeniously composed of, for instance, apples or wigs or quilts. The notion is original, and the sum total enjoyable and unique."--Horn Book. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Alphabet books are a dime a dozen, but very few succeed as well as this one. The plot is simple enough: a child goes to Market Street and buys one item for each letter of the alphabet. What makes this book so special are the ingenious illustrations. Each "merchant" on Market Street is beautifully constructed from the items that he/she is selling. So, for the letter A the first merchant is made out of apples, and for B the merchant is made out of books, and so forth. This makes the pictures not only interesting to look at (and they really are gorgeous), but helps develop sight vocabulary. This book is also a very quick read--you can zip right through it. In the crowded and mostly undistinguished field of alphabet books, On Market Street truly stands out! |
