My Beastie Book of ABC

David Frampton. HarperCollins, $15.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-06-028823-5

A grinning reptile greets readers on the first spread of My Beastie Book of ABC by David Frampton, which pairs delightfully ridiculous rhymes with playful woodcuts in a psychedelic palette: ""A is for alligator./ Her teeth are quite/ awesome./ Yours will be too, if you just/ brush and floss 'em."" (Apr.)
