NOW AVAILABLE IN BOARD BOOK FORMAT. Ted Harrison's bold, graphic art brings the alphabet and the arctic to life in this ABC classic.

Available now in board book format for the first time, A Northern Alphabet is an early introduction to the letters by way of all things northern: the landscape, the people, and the flora and fauna. From A for anorak and B for bear to Q for quilt and Z for zinc mine, in these pages, children everywhere can experience the color and beauty of northern life. Each letter is accompanied by simple text naming a few of the objects, animals and people depicted in each spectacular painting.

Praise for A Northern Alphabet

PRAISE FOR A Northern Alphabet:

"Every child needs at least one alphabet book and none is more beautiful.... From A to Z, Harrison creates an enduring work of art." --Toronto Star

"[A] sophisticated alphabet book...." --Canadian Children's Book News

"It is definitely a 'keeper' in my library. Highly Recommended." --CM Magazine

"This takes you through the alphabet with alliteration, with all sorts of references to objects and habitat and animals in the North. It's absolutely a beautiful book. It's a real Canadian keepsake..." --CTV British Columbia

"By the time children outgrow this book, they will know much more about the world than the alphabet." --Maclean's

"A gorgeously illustrated book that works.... Although uniquely original, the paintings somehow remind me of both Emily Carr and William Kurelek at the same time.... A bright, beautiful, and imaginative addition to the growing collection of peculiarly Canadian alphabet books." --Canadian Materials
