“Marcia Henry and Sally Parsons have created a delightful journey through the alphabet.  Marcia's fun loving  and appealing verse coupled with Sally's detailed  artistic depiction of life on Madeline will captivate young and old as they travel through this familiar sequence. The book promotes literacy for youngsters, historical background for the older reader and sheer pleasure for all."
Carol Sowl - Teacher, La Pointe School

"I found this book to be very appealing. The text is very cleverly written to engage children in finding all the hidden details in these great illustrations. It makes learning fun. I think every Island cottage should have this book in its collection."
Constance T. Ross - Director, Madeline Island Public Library
