Alphabet
City is a walk through an extraordinary art gallery. At
first glance, the illustrations appear to be photos, each one
capturing a letter of the alphabet as seen by a playful mind
throughout New York City. To discover that each magnificent page
is in reality a painting be award winning artist Stephen T. Johnson,
is only half of the fun.
The real delight comes when you have to find the capitol letters
amongst the textures, patterns, and shadows of the city. Each
page cleverly helps us find the hidden beauty in an otherwise somber
city. Children and adults alike will enjoy Alphabet City
and may even be inspired to look through their own environments for
hidden letters in everyday life, and take a camera and a sketch pad
along too!
Alphabet
City is a fresh way to teach, admire and discover the alphabet
in ways most people never imagined. How many people look at the
side of a hanging traffic light to see a capitol E ? Or notice
the letter R in the cracks of a leaf covered stone walk? Alphabet
City is fun, beautiful and inspiring while it teaches letter
recognition with a fresh and fun concept. Families and people
of all ages will enjoy this book and children will adore it.
