The Timbertoes ABC Alphabet Book features the Timbertoes family from the Highlights for Children magazine. These Pinocchio-like characters are drawn in black and white with very round heads and long limbs. The pages do feature color, however, accenting the object/subject corresponding to the letter in the alphabet. The contrast of black and white and color on the page is intriguing and makes the letter/words and the object really stand out. Each page has the upper and low case letter and the word of the object/subject that represents the letter on the page. While the Timbertoes are simple drawings, the object/subject drawings are very detailed. This book will be best enjoyed by preschoolers. However, when comparing this to Dr. Seuss’s A B C: An Amazing Alphabet Book! there really is no comparison. The entertainment value in the Dr. Seuss book far exceeds that of this book. ( )
