The alphabet book gets the Neil Gaiman/Gris Grimly treatment in this entertaining little tome. "A is for Always, that's where we embark; / B is for Boat, pushing off in the dark" - and so begins the rhyming narrative of this alphabet adventure story, as a boy and girl navigate a creepy underground river, encountering every sort of monster imaginable, until they emerge again at the end. Or rather, at Z... Pairing an entertaining read-aloud text in rhyme and deliciously gruesome artwork, The Dangerous Alphabet is a picture-book in the truest sense. Gris Grimly's illustrations are an intrinsic part of the narrative - without them, most of the story would remain untold, as the boy and girl (along with their intrepid gazelle) pass through many adventures whose true reality is only partially captured (if at all) by the text. Although I wouldn't describe this one as a personal favorite, I did enjoy it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for fun and rather frightening alphabet books, as well as to Neil Gaiman and/or Gris Grimly fans. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Such splendid illustrations. And the rhymes.
And, well, it's Neil. I'm pretty sure it's self-explanatory. ( )
