The Queen's Progress: An Elizabethan Alphabet

48 pp. | Viking | May, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-670-03612-9 $$16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline. Rhyming couplets introduce each letter of the alphabet and describe an activity or event relevant to Elizabeth I's annual summer holiday: "C is for crown. / The queen rules the day. / She wades through the crowd, / to her guards' great dismay." Amusing visual details and supplemental information about each subject make this book interesting--not for the alphabet-book crowd, but for older readers.
Reviewer: Jeannine M. Chapman
