Overview

Artist and printmaker Jesse Levison brings style to the alphabet in U is for Underwear. Toddlers will keep turning the pages of this chunky board book featuring simple, vibrant, and graphic illustrations. Imbuing everyday objects with a sense of wonder, the bold artwork makes a perfect introduction to the ABCs for young pre-readers who can trace the letters with a finger and begin to understand the symbolic representation that underlies reading and writing. Parents can begin to develop literacy in even very young children by exposing them to the letters of the alphabet, making U is for Underwear a fun and easy tool for imprinting little brains. Pleasing to the eye for both kids and adults, Jesse's retro sensibility and witty simplicity makes this a potential cross-over title for their little learners-or at least a great gift for style-conscious parents.

***Amazon Editor's Pick #3*** There is a wonderful variety of words represented in this alphabet. It is a mixture of the musical, the natural, the everyday and the nostalgic; a mixture of the modern and the timeless. - The Illustrated Forrest The illustrations are bold, colorful, and easily recognizable, which can be a challenge at this early age with some of the more abstractly rendered images found in some books. For a two year old, this simplicity is a breath of fresh air. - Coos and Ahhs Levison's illustrations are executed perfectly, minimally simple but instantly recognisable. This is testament to her printmaking background and expert use of colour. - Picture Books Blogger
