In "G is for Gzonk," DiTerlizzi has created fantastic imaginary creatures with illustrations and descriptions reminiscent of Dr. Suess's style. Beyond, the illustrations, though, I feel that the book is lacking. As an alphabet book, it is too long and text heavy for very young children. It is too

complex for young readers, but the subject matter is too simple for older ones. It left me wondering what audience it was designed for.

I have never laughed harder with my son than we have with this book.
I picked this up at the library solely because I recognized Tony's name (an old colleague from our TSR days in the past). Now I'll be picking up at least 3 copies of this book for the coming Yuletide for various and sundry

What a romp! A little bit Dr. Suess, a little bit kooky, a whole lot of fun. I think it would be perfect for 5-7 year olds. Went a little bit over my 4yo's head and took a bit to capture my 9yo...but it hooked them both by then end.

An abecedarian (and counting book) tribute to two icons of nonsensical rhyme, Dr. Seuss and Edward Lear.
