A,
You’re Adorable is an alphabet book with a
difference. The words were originally written in 1948 as lyrics for a song
which was subtitled The Alphabet Song
and appropriately, the text dances and sparkles across the pages as the
alphabet of endearments progresses.
A you’re adorable
B you’re so beautiful
C
you’re a cutie full of charms
This fun and upbeat picture book is
packed full of cute animals as well as plenty to spot for every letter of the
alphabet. The illustrations are a mix of charm and
cheekiness with many creatures of the land, air and water playfully adoring
each other. These pictures have made what could have been an overly saccharine
book, simply engaging and delightful.
The song on the bonus CD is sung
fabulously by the wonderful Justine Clarke, who many children (and their
parents) will know from Play School and her own CD’s, Songs to Make You Smile and I
Like to Sing. When the two-year-old in my life heard it she said, ‘Again’
each time the song finished. Its catchy tune and easy lyrics make it very easy for
adults and young children alike to sing along to.
