Synopsis
A 1996 Caldecott Honor book!

A 1996 Caldecott Honor book, this sophisticated, wordless alphabet book is sure to appeal to young and old alike."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
About the Author
Stephen T. Johnson is a highly versatile American artist whose art spans a broad range of concepts, contexts and mediums including painting, collage, drawing, sculpture and installations and can be seen in museum and gallery exhibitions, public art commissions, and through his original award-winning children's books.

His most recent engagement with the alphabet is his ongoing series of "literal abstractions" which are the subject of his book A is for Art: An Abstract Alphabet, also a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year, and featured in several solo museum and gallery exhibitions."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
