Review by School Library Journal Review
K-Gr 3-A playful take on alphabet and concept books, all packaged into one. Noteworthy entries include an itch, a kiss, a memory, the universe, and time. Black-and-white illustrations, punctuated with bright orange accents, provide the perfect backdrop to the miniexploration of the often intangible topics. Children will revel in trying to decipher the clues that precede each item. In fact, they will pick up the work again and again to test their guessing and memorization abilities. Once the subject is revealed, the well-thought-out definitions cover what one would find in the dictionary and then some, including, for example, the word's use in a figurative phrase. VERDICT Bound to keep young readers questioning the world around them and even giggling about it. No guessing needed-this one is a keeper from A to Z!-Colleen S.
