PETER PIPER'S ALPHABET

by Marcia Brown

Pub Date: Aug. 5th, 1959
Publisher: Scribner

Based on the Peter Piper rhyme, this book takes the reader on a colorful tour of his alphabet. Nonsense is the coating on this really informative dose which includes a vigorous measure of new vocabulary and fact. Illustrated in vivid color drawings by Marcia Brown which capture the abandon of the one hundred and forty year old English text, this book teaches its valuable lesson through whimsy and inventiveness.
