J.B. Frank said: " This is an interesting question and one worth exploring. The rhyming is fun and at times works brilliantly. The illustrations are good. A fun read. "

A book all done in letters? How interesting could that be!? Very! I enjoyed the different voices and the peek into history. (I'm a fan of Annie Barrows. So fun that it's all in the family.) At first I thought I'd forget who was who but the voices for ...more
