If you love Elsa Beskow, you need to get this book! There are a ton of illustrations from many of her books, some never released in the US. It is a small sized book, but it is not thin. There are several pictures for each letter. Such a treasure

5.0 out of 5 stars The adults in my home gathered around this book to enjoy Elsa Beskow nostalgia
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2016

100% charming! The adults in my home gathered around this book to enjoy Elsa Beskow nostalgia. No one quite does childhood from a child's point of view the way she did. It's also recommended to actually give to or to share with a child (LOL!) because the pre-electronic world of childhood in the early 20th century is revealed, and every child we've shared Elsa's books with seems to happily relate to that perspective. Another plus is that the alphabet letter picture examples are extracted from a variety of Elsa's books, including ones that are only recently translated into English. It's like a "sneak peek" without spoilers into those books. Highly recommended!

I am a big Elsa Beskow fan and when this book arrived I was so happy to see it. The drawings come from her books and obviously it's an alphabet book. For any Elso Beskow fan this is a book one must add to his/her collection.

This is an ok book in my opinion. It’s small and just has one word on each page. Illustrations are beautiful but even though I’m a big Elsa Beskow fan, this isn’t one I would consider a treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunningly illustrated alphabet book
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022
Verified Purchase
I was searching online for a baby gift and wanted an alphabet book which would appeal as well to babies and parents alike. My reasoning is by appealing to adults promotes them spending more time actually reading it to baby. This board book far exceeds my goal. The illustrations are fabulous and detailed. Beyond being an ABC book, there are so many ways of using this as a Do You See book and story book. Three attributes in one! This is a beautiful read.

Beautifully presented book filled with Elsa's charming illustrations, one for each letter of the alphabet. My children love it, as do I. Would make a wonderful gift for a new baby or toddler's birthday.
