D Is for Derby: A Kentucky Derby Alphabet

32 pp. | Sleeping Bear | March, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58536-813-6 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jaime Corum. For each letter of the alphabet, a singsongy rhyming quatrain about America's most famous horse race shares space with a dramatic oil painting and a wordy sidebar exploring famous horses, Derby parties, "My Old Kentucky Home," and other racing topics. Though the sunny treatment is too long-winded for a read-aloud, horse fans will appreciate delving deep into their favorite subject.
