Bookroo's summary
Embark on a visual journey where each letter of the alphabet is ingeniously hidden within abstract art. From a C crafted from candy to an H nestled in a hook, these artworks challenge you to find the letters and explore the connections between words, objects, and ideas. Will you uncover them all? This captivating collection invites both children and adults to engage their imaginations and see the alphabet in a whole new light.
From the publisher
A is for Art: An Abstract Alphabet is a remarkable journey of discovery about art and language through painting, collage, and sculpture by Caldecott Honor artist Stephen T. Johnson. With literal renderings of each letter, complete with witty titles and playful, alliterative captions, Johnson’s abstract art forges connections between words, objects, and ideas.
Can you find the hidden letters? Look closely and you will see a letter C made of colorful candy, a letter H hidden in a hook, and an S in a soft shadow. From A to Z, each stunning, original work of art will stimulate the imagination and creativity of children and adults alike.
