The entries are further supplemented with objects that begin with the same letter. Author Laura Rankin was inspired to create this book by her deaf stepson. It is a wonderful introduction to the alphabet and to sign language, and the art is beautiful enough to merit sharing it with adults as well. <p/><b><i>Boston Globe-Horn Book</i> Honor Book</b> <p/>"Brilliant . . .
