Description

"A is for Art: An Abstract Alphabet" is a remarkable journey of discovery about art and language through painting, collage, and sculpture by Caldecott Honor artist Stephen T. Johnson. With literal renderings of each letter, complete with witty titles and playful, alliterative captions, Johnson's abstract art forges connections between words, objects, and ideas.


Can you find the hidden letters? Look closely and you will see a letter "C" made of colorful candy, a letter "H" hidden in a hook, and an "S" in a soft shadow. From A to Z, each stunning, original work of art will stimulate the imagination and creativity of children and adults alike.


 

Reviews

"The artist creates a marvelously complex alphabet book that doubles as a trip to an art museum and a stint at a coffeee house poetry reading. Readers and listeners of all ages will enjoy seeing the original art and hearing the wordplay of each letter...An index provides details of the artist's works and shows us where the hidden letters are."-- Connie Goldsmith, CALIFORNIA KIDS!
