The lowercase letters dare each other up a coconut tree, a first, then b, then c, until all twenty-six are crowded at the top and the tree bends over. Down they all tumble.
Then the capital letters, the mamas and papas and aunts and uncles, come running to dust off the little ones, who are bruised and bandaged and ready to climb again. The chant has a beat like a drum, and Lois Ehlert’s letters are bold blocks of color on white pages.
Hardcover, 40 pages, published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. Suggested for ages 4 to 8.
