From Publishers Weekly In this unique combination of alphabet book and storybook, Chandra's (Balloons and Other Poems) galloping rhymes and Narahashi's (I Have a Friend) inviting watercolors take an imaginative cowgirl for a memorable ride. Narahashi's exuberant characters feature in varied compositions that shine with golden hues. Ages 2-6. They ride past the F for farmer and through M for mud ("Sloppity cloppety thumpety thud/ Past pigs in a puddle/ M is for mud"). They hurry to get out of the rain ("V for weather vane that's twirling/ W for wild wind whirling") and finally reach the cozy barn ("X for extra-dry and warm") where the walls fade back to the wallpaper print of the girl's room.
