1: Amazing art
Anita Lobel's amazing artwork makes this book appealing to all ages. My grandson pored over the pictures after receiving this gift. It's simply a beautiful book.

2: Beautiful illustrations
I bought this book on school recommendation for talking about careers. Reading the summary of it and how the character shops in the market place, I didn't realize it was an ABC book. While it is beautifully illustrated, it only teaches the ABC's and not much else. This is mostly a picture book that kids and adults will enjoy. There's not enough reading to make it a bedtime book.

3: Now I know my ABC'S
This book is bautiful. My children both had it years ago. I always purchase it for new babies and their families. The artwork is stunning, the story is sweet...learning your ABC'S as you travel down "On Market Street"

4: What Happened to the Illustrations?
I am in agreement with the other reviewers who commented on the poor quality of this reproduction of what was a fabulously illustrated children's alphabet book with a lovely verse and the lesson about giving to tie it all together. However, I went ahead and bought the book for a baby gift and I was very disappointed in the overall faded appearance of the illustrations compared with the original award winning version. It was my children's favorite alphabet book; and the new version doesn't even come close to the original as far as quality of the illustrations, which is what picture books are all about, isn't it? They should really look into re-doing it again. I wouldn't recommend buying it if you have seen the original, there is no comparison.

5: disappointed in picture quality
I have borrowed this book numerous times from our local library and I just love the beautiful, vibrant illistrations. However, in this edition the color and vibrancy of the pictures is just not there. Since this is a picture book I am very disappointed.
