Call me impatient, but I could not wait until Friday to share how author-illustrator Mike Boldt finished my sentences. Why? Because approximately twenty minutes ago he released the book trailer for his hilarious picture book, 123 Versus ABC. I wrote the words in red, and he wrote the words in black. Thank you, Mike!
You should read 123 Versus ABC if you like books about two different themes arguing as to who
the book is really about. Well...you could read it even if you don’t like those
kinds of books. Either way works for me.
123 Versus ABC’s illustrations are made out of only the healthiest of ingredients (100%
digital). I sketched, drew, and colored everything on my computer using a
program called Corel Painter. It’s neato.
I hope kids say
“again” after reading 123 Versus ABC. But if they
could say part or all of either the alphabet or their counting (up to 26)
afterwards, that would be really amazing!
Picture books are important! I believe they are parts of our imaginations landing
in physical form which I hope inspire our dreams to take off again. I consider
it a huge privilege to be able to make them.
Reading is one
of my favorite things to see my kids (and others) doing. I don’t mind it either!
Borrow 123 Versus ABC from your school or public library. Whenever possible, please support independent bookshops.
I saw the "123 vs. ABC" book on the Barnes shelf and HAD to pick it up! SO beautifully illustrated and such an entertaining, fresh way to present numbers and letters! :D
