The team behind City Alphabet takes another look around town, this time at numbers zero through twenty, including degrees therein (e.g., neon tubing behind a loan-office window brings us "2.5%"). Beam's color photos are evidence of a keen eye and a mind sufficiently open to spot beauty in the least likely places; this book encourages readers to do the same.

In this unconventional urban alphabet book, color photographs of random words found in various places around the city of Toronto represent the letters. The words themselves are not linked by any particular theme: Art, Brute, Cameras, Drop, Evoke, etc. It's a creative and well-executed idea, but some words will be obscure to children.
