This is a reissue of a book originally printed in 1953. There is a reason why this book hasn’t been reprinted in over the last 50 years. It’s old! The illustrations are simple, the colors are dull and muddy. There is no challenge for kiddos to name various things beginning with the assigned letter; there’s just one image. I believe that today’s technology in book making and in general have made kids too sophisticated to make one of these ‘vintage’ books one of their favorites.
