(4) K-3 Illustrated by Milton Glaser. A letter ("Angry A," "Bashful B") enters a room and speaks in the manner of its name until twenty-six disparate personalities are yakking away. An explanation that each letter's shape and personality is based on a typeface (Aurora, Bodoni) is appended. While this complex concept book's audience isn't clear and the speech balloons are confusingly displayed, there are enough clever touches for several books.
