Albert’s Alphabet

ALBERT’S ALPHABET Written and Illustrated by LESLIE TRYON It was reissued by Simon & Schuster in hardcover in 2011 on the 20th anniversary of the book.

Reviews From Horn Book: Albert Goose, the school carpenter, must construct an alphabet by three o'clock. Not only does the reader see the letters materialize, but Tryon has pictured many of the building techniques used. Some of the letters are fantastical, but the book is a clever approach to visualizing the alphabet. -- Copyright © 1991 The Horn Book, Inc.
