The message is good, but a little is lost in the execution. Not wild about the illustrations, and some of the rhymes don't scan, which is a personal pet peeve for which I refuse to apologize.

This was a nice little rhyming book and none of the letters were really stretched to make them fit the theme which I liked. I also like that they kept a cadence and saved more complicated definitions for the back glossary.

The GayBCs is a unique book using the alphabet to explain all about the basics of LGBTQ .
I think this is a great way to introduce terminology to children. It's simple, uses great pictures and makes it easy. I can honestly think of some adults who could use this book...

learn and understand. It's very sweet but I can see some people not enjoying it (but those people aren't made for this book anyways). A is for ally, as the book says. I think some of the terminology might go over kids heads, but this book is just an introduction so it won't make much of a difference. I have seen comments from other reviewers that some letters had multiple options, but we need to remember this was only going over the alphabet once. There was always a chance that some terms were going to be left out.Overall, I think this is a great tool and is very fun. It's full of colours and fun pictures as well!
