Towards the end it sort of devolves with “Ugly birds” and “Vicuña” (which I have to look up every time to confirm it is a hoofed mammal that lives in western South America, like an alpaca), but as alphabet books go, it’s well done. The alphabet coupled with animals, with excellent use of alliteration. Where did the purple socks come from, though?
(You may notice an absence of Pookie the pig, and that’s because I find him distasteful.)ĭifferent items of clothing are different colors, but one item is always the wrong color. After reading a number of her books roughly one thousand times, I have been able to rank the very best Boynton books for you here.
I can see that each anthropomorphized animal, drawn with a seemingly shaking, maybe unstable hand, is just trying to get through the day. My kids can easily memorize the story or chew on the rounded corners. Her hand-drawn animals range from silly (Oops!) to morose (one hippo, all alone!), and have a magnetic pull for toddlers and adults alike. Boynton, who has sold over seven million copies to parents around the world, is the master of board books.
Do you have a smush of a child who is aged in between eating books and listening to you read them? Then you probably own three or six or twenty Sandra Boynton titles.
