This book was sent free of charge by Top That! Publishing to support the 100 Books Challenge.
Yet another lusciously illustrated picture book, this time a quirky ABC with some very unexpected entries. I don’t recall ever reading an ABC that included vampires before! At least X doesn’t stand for Xylophone in this version – instead it marks the spot where pirates bury their treasure. Pirate, Vampires, Fairies, Mermaids – the book is littered with fantastic beings that may take a little explaining to the more literal minded children about. Nevertheless this is a fun read, and like I said already, the pictures are very beautiful.
The boring small print…If you don’t want to miss out on any of the news on the challenge, please sign up to my rss feed – there’s an email link over in the side, or you can sub with a reader. I’m also on twitter using the hashtag #100books and facebook.
If you want to donate, please feel free, there’s a link in the sidebar or you can use this one. If you’d like to join in with your own version of the challenge, please leave me a comment to let me know so that I can link to you. And also, the booklink above is an affiliate link, but it’s set up with its own tracking id, so anything bought via a 100 book challenge link is separate to those usually on my blog, and I’ll be donating that money through to Oxfam as well.
