When I first picked up this colorful, 48-page book, I thought it was another pre-school alphabet book. No so. It turned out to be a book about letters for beginning readers and others who are interested in fonts, styles and point sizes. It has little snippets of information on such things as where our alphabet came from, and why capitals are called upper case and small letters are called lower case. The difference between serif and sans serif type is explained too - all in simple language anybody can enjoy. Kids who are starting to use word processors will love it, and everyone can benefit from knowing a little more about the letters they type into their computers every day. ( )
