"Alphabet Family Wedding" appeals on multiple levels. For the youngest alphabet newbies, it provides a relatable point of reference for the otherwise abstract (and intimidating) building blocks of written language. For more advanced readers, it’s an engaging reading challenge coupled with an enriching story about embracing maturity. For parents, it’s a warm window of perspective on childhood insecurities and an ornate allegory of growth, ambition, and the never-ending struggle for acceptance.
The clever premise and touching story both benefit from the foundation of Muldoon’s extensive background in education and psychology. To top it off, Castaneda’s artwork breathes further life into the Alphabet Family world, evoking a magic realist style that reconciles the story’s high concept with very natural, everyday life experience.
I love this little book, and I’m sure you and your children will also.
