About the author

Walter Crane was an English artist and book illustrator. He is considered, along with Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway, one of the strongest contributors to the child's nursery motif that the genre of English children's illustrated literature would exhibit in its developmental stages in the latter 19th century.

His work featured some of the more colorful and detailed beginnings of the child-in-the-garden motifs that would characterize many nursery rhymes and children's stories for decades to come. He was part of the Arts and Crafts movement and produced an array of paintings, illustrations, children's books, ceramic tiles and other decorative arts. Crane is also remembered for his creation of a number of iconic images associated with the international Socialist movement.

This is such a fun alphabet rhyme for both kids and adults, it pulls each letter of the alphabet into a different nursery rhyme.

This was a delightful picture book that teaches children their alphabet in a humorous way. Even as an adult, I found it very comical. Learning is much more fun when it is made interesting, and this book is an excellent example.
