This book was given to me as a gift and I have many wonderful memories associated with it. I became lost in it the beautiful art in this children's alphabet book.

i legitimately love all of graeme base's books, they are absolutely delightful to read and i'm still blown over by the details of all his illustrations and all the little mysteries and puzzles hidden on the pages.

I found a copy for a friend's grandchild. This reminded me to have a look at my own copy & I have just had a lot of pleasure, not only looking at the beautiful pictures, but appreciating Base's rich use of language. I blush to say I didn't find all the little Graemes. A beautiful body of work that took Base three years to complete.

It can't be a spoiler to show one (ok two!) pictures.



Just gorgeous.

I used to own [bc:The Eleventh Hour|11903|The Eleventh Hour|Graeme Base|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1386920019s/11903.jpg|1247072] as well. While I didn't enjoy that book quite as much I'm sad that it appears to be missing. Hopefully a copy will turn up at my work.

Possibly the best alphabet book ever and I kind of decided this before I got past E. The pictures are so rich and involved. The words at an over-the-top high level but funny and inventive. wow.

I saw this on Amazon and got beyond nostalgic, so I ordered it immediately. One of my favorite childhood books and you can almost always find something new when you look at it.

This is a great book full of vivid pictures and my daughter and I always enjoy finding the little boy on each of the pages!

This book is one of my favorite books of all time. The pictures are beautiful beyond words. The alliteration is enchanting. The challenge to find pictures that start with the sound of each letter is fantastic. My only concern is that on the letter "K", they have a picture of guns and a kidnapping scenario. In most American schools, it's against the rules to play "guns". So, it may confuse children when they see it in a book at school.
