PS
A little red cat meets up with an alligator, an encounter that sets this wordless--save for the upper- and lowercase letterforms--alphabet book into action. Expert, minimal, and gentle lines move the eye across each spread and to the next, an attention to forward motion that is equaled in the plot. Touches of wit and plenty of zip recommend this for lap-sit sharing.
