Book Review

Sheila Moxley's An Alphabet Book of Cats and Dogs appeals to the eye while it educates the reader. The book illustrates the letters of the alphabet in such a way that a child can effortlessly construct sentences using all of the different letters. The author's use of unusual words and sentences for each of these letters seeks to expand the child's vocabulary. Moxley's captions under the cat and dog illustrations not only explain the picture, but are also constructed with alliteration. Sentences like 'Arnold is an amazing aviator,' for example, allow the reader to connect with the characters. Rather than using the universal phrase 'A for Apple,' Sheila Moxley adds amazing twists to her sentences that give the book a totally new feel.
Also the illustrator of the book, Sheila Moxley combines real photos and colorful art in this picture book. She uses no computer-generated images but instead, just old-fashioned cut and paste techniques with a little painting to create a collage. . The adorable dogs and cats possess human qualities (one holds an umbrella; another ice-skates), which is sure to make readers laugh. The book's brilliantly colored paintings, funny captions, and playful illustrations not only entertain but help the reader learn the letters of the English alphabet.
