Review: Beautiful illustrations, terrible, oddly inappropriate rhymes
Rating: 2 out of 5

Example, "V is for Vile Vulture, Sitting on an old tin sculpture, He has no class or culture."  What?  The pictures are really neat, if a bit dark.  Another reviewer used "M" as an example.  "M is for Mischievous Mouse, Who keeps nuts in his house, Then hides them from his spouse."  Frankly, that's not a message about marriage that I want to send my kids and here it is bizarrely in an alphabet book.  Keeping things from your spouse is generally a bad idea, why promote it in a book for preschoolers??This could have been a really great book with beautiful, interesting pictures that are more soothing/relaxing than overly colorful and bright.  Too bad the weird, stilted rhymes ruin it.
