... wild kids book : an alphabet like no other...
... " The Gashlycrumb Tinies" by Edward Gorey is not your ordinary alphabet and you might want to wait a few years before sharing this book with your kids.. "Gorey's sinister little tales about haunted, pale-featured characters living in a world of bleak, clouded landscapes and gloomy, shadow-filled interiors earned him a reputation as the modern master of American Gothic... his bizarre tales have found an affectionate audience around the world who enjoy both shivering and laughing at the grim, the grisly and the gruesome"... I completely love this book, it really brings a smile to my face every time I read it.
