Book Review : Children\'s Picture Book/Alphabet/Spanish Language

Abecedarios: Mexican Folk Art ABCs in English and Spanish

Cynthia Weill and K.B. Basseches

Every ABC book worth its cover price is bound to have bright colors and big letters. But not every ABC book has magical hand-carved animals to illustrate every letter. In this brightly colored book, the alphabet is presented in both Spanish and English, and includes the four additional letters-and whimsical animals-that make the Spanish alphabet so much fun.

The famous folk artists, brothers Moiss and Armando Jimnez, carved the wonderful animal figures that illustrate each letter in ABeCedarios. Working with their wives and children in the beautiful village of Arrazola in Oaxaca, Mexico, they carved and painted each enchanting animal by hand. For many centuries, people in Oaxaca have carved wood to make toys and household objects. However, it was Moiss and Armando\\\'s grandfather Manuel who started making animal figures. Now more than sixty families in Arrazola make their living from wood carving.
