I love the concept of this - with each letter of the alphabet the child is transported on a magical journey, meeting inhabitants of an enchanted dreamworld along the way.

A special mention goes to When I Dream of ABC by Henry Fisher for its deadpan wit and jolly pictures, too. That one had everyone in my house laughing.

This was BG's and mines favourite book of the two, it's an ABC book with a twist. I found this book really funny and the pictures are fantastic.

The Book Bag - 27th Aug 2010
Every page is a joy to look at, and gets better each time you read through it. The text alone would be super, the pictures alone would be super, but put the two together and you've got something very special indeed. Highly recommended.
