Cute book with good vocabulary.Useful for multiple ages.

If your little one already knows the alphabet, this book is still interesting because of the vocabulary used as mouse constructs each letter of the alphabet. For example, mouse, "ices the I", which my son thought was strange until I told him what icing was.


not just another run-of-the-mill alphabet book

This is a charmingly different alphabet book than most. There is a lot of creativity in it. The title would lead one to think that it is about construction as in bulldozers, contractors, etc. It is however more of a alphabet of home repair. The mouse, Airbrushes an A, Levels an L, Measures an M and Welds a W. The only 2 downsides:
1) not all letters fit the motif (e.g. Vaccuums, XRays and Zips) but those are hard letters to work with
2) I find the whymsical images to be cute but don't care for the style of art

Nice change for an alphabet book

With vivid illustrations, it's a nice change of pace to read an alphabet book that uses verbs instead of just nouns. For example the mouse "buttons the B" instead of just showing the word/picture button, butterfly etc. Very cute book and a great learning tool.






A Fun Read

Denise Fleming is a fabulous author and illustrator. A fun read for the kids.

An artist?s approach to introducing the alphabet Mouse airbrushes the A,
buttons the B,
carves the C . . . Mouse is hard at work constructing each letter of the alphabet. He dyes the D, erases the E, and folds the F. Mouse works his way right through to Z, constructing an alphabet that surpasses even the wildest artistic imagination.
