Illustrated by
Pierr Morgan.
Five city-dwelling kids of varying ages and ethnicities enjoy one another's company while taking advantage of what their neighborhood has to offer in summer, one letter at a time: "A is for Arm linkers," "B is for Book readers," etc. These homespun descriptors are an inspired way to introduce the alphabet, and the loose, happy illustrations couldn't be more inviting.
