The Jazzy Alphabet

32 pp. | Philomel | June, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23453-5 $$15.99
(4) PS Illustrated by Mary Thelen. In this alphabet book, vivid artwork complements a non-rhyming text enlisting jazz lingo. Using flat colors and geometric shapes, Thelen incorporates a number of items beginning with or including each featured letter. Closer attention to phrasing and meter would have given the text a more musical flow; nonetheless, the unique theme will attract readers.
