B Is for Brooklyn

(4) K-3 This A-to-Z borough tour will appeal more to Brooklynites than alphabet book purists. Each letter spotlights multiple landmarks and cultural features in handwritten font and illustrations; some choices epitomize Brooklyn (C: Coney Island, I: Immigrants), while others are odd (K: Kickball) or a stretch (Q: Brooklyn-Queens Expressway). Spreads of gouache and collage art are energetic if a bit overstuffed.
