The Disappearing Alphabet
Richard Wilbur
Voyager Books, 2001
Excellent:for its humor, poetic quality, illustrations.
I highly recommend this book. The lines are easy to remember, and are very quotable. They provide an introduction to poetry and to the play with language. They introduce vocabulary with humor. The illustrations are quite extraordinary, the print of high quality.
