Summary
It would seem that alphabet picture books have covered everything from A to Z. Taking a more scholarly approach, Heck adds a new twist. For a familiar animal (a bee, for example), she has found names in different languages that begin with the same letter -- but not the same initial letter as the English word. The letter A is for "Anu in Igbo, Ari in Turkish, Aamoo in Ojibwe, and Abelha in Portuguese," all of which translate to bee in English. The pattern continues with "B is for monkey," "H is for tiger," and so on. Sixty-eight languages are represented; European languages such as French and German are featured among less frequently included world languages such as Azerbaijani, Cherokee, and Wolof.
