Cleo's Alphabet Book

This is a gorgeous book! Bright, beautiful colors and wonderful illustrations. However, I have to agree with the other reviewer that wanted the pages (rhymes) to include the name of the item instead of just the letter ("A kite loves dancing in the wind" instead of "K loves dancing in the wind"). The other thing that bothers me is the last page of the book (Y and Z, see user photos). The Y for Yawn isn't shown (the boy is shown sleeping) and the Z rhyme could have been done much better: it reads "Y means Cleo wants to rest. Z means bedtime's best!" That last line is SO stunted it throws me every time, so I have taken to reading it as "Z means bedtime is the best." I find it hard to believe that NO ONE in the publishing process thought to write it that way--especially since the rest of the rhyming in the book is spot on. I still highly recommend this book. It's very fun to read, and my 3-month old loves me reading it to him!

The colorful and dynamic illustrations keep my toddler's attention as we learn the alphabet. Shows both uppercase and lowercase letters and each letter features Cleo in action. The text asks questions that are answered by the picture, so it is automatically engaging. A nice board book -- well constructed. Barefoot books are great!
