(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Congdon. This browsable volume includes several animals for each letter of the alphabet (mostly four or five; there's only one for X). The short explanatory paragraphs, while informative, are a little exclamation-point-heavy and random; a "fun fact" about each animal is included with its entry. Clean design and realistic-looking illustrations enhance the presentation. Glos.
