알파벳의 변신은 무죄(?)
A는 산사태가 나는 Avalanche로, B는 통통 튀는 Bounce로, C는 동글동글한 Circle로, D는 머리에 뿔이 달린 Devil로 알파벳이 변신을 합니다. 단순히 알파벳을 익히는 책이 아니라 작가의 창의성에 감탄하고, 현란한 그래픽의 아름다움을 느낄 수 있는 책입니다.
튼튼한 | 닫기x |  What is 하드커버?
양장본이라고도 불리우며, 표지가 단단한 판지로 만들어진 책입니다.
판지를 천이나 가죽으로 감싸기도 합니다. 책의 속지는 일반적으로 중성처리된 종이(Acid-free paper)를 사용해서 잘 변질이 되지 않기 때문에 오랫동안 보관하기에 적합합니다. 이 종류의 책은 더스트 재킷, 또는 더스트 커버로 불리는 표지덮개가 함께 있는 경우가 많습니다. 간혹 내부 속지가 콩기름 코팅이 된 경우 고약한 냄새가 나는 책도 있습니다.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
This elegant alphabet is for those who long ago mastered their ABCs but never outgrew their passion for discovering beauty in unexpected places.
Publisher's Weekly
This arresting alphabet book is far removed from the ``A is for Apple'' school of abecedaries. Here, A is for Avalanche, and the churning snow in the accompanying illustration crumbles from the summit of an A-shaped mountain. B is for Bounce, and the arcing path of a blue ball loops to form the outer curves of that letter. Each of the 26 letters is thus ingeniously featured in an illustration that represents the word in question. Glossy and elegant, Pelletier's debut work is striking for the clean lines of its images and the overarching simplicity of its composition. Each letter is showcased against a sleek black background, vivid colors against a square of darkness. There is humor here, too: set sideways, the letter D glows as a horned red devil; in a ghoulish X ray two bony fingers overlap to form an X. Even so, this book is too sophisticated for kids just learning their ABC's; it may best suit older children with an interest in art and adults with an interest in graphic design. All ages.
Children's Literature
Young and old will be fascinated by Pelletier's clever new take on the letters of the alphabet. The letter H "hovers" in blackness, while I the "iceberg" slowly bobs in the frozen night water. Letters D, R, V, and X will amaze older readers, while younger ones will love F, M, O, and all the rest. Pelletier's imagination and talent are startling. A "must have" for fans of alphabet books! - Catherine Campbell Wright
School Library Journal
Graphic designer David Pelletier has created a striking and imaginative concept book. Against a stark, black backdrop, each vibrantly colored letter of the alphabet interprets a single word. The words are serendipitous. There appears to be no theme or criteria for their selection. Although they are mostly nouns, e.g., avalanche, devil, mountains, and edge, an occasional verb materializes (e.g., hover and juggle). This free association of words, the mixture of parts of speech, and the sophisticated visuals may be confusing to very young children, but the designs are fascinating. It is the graphics that give the book continuity. In a minimalistic fashion, intriguing shapes and spatial elements have been conceived. Like Chris Van Allsburg's The Z Was Zapped (Houghton, 1987) and Stephen Johnson's Alphabet City (Viking, 1995), this book challenges the mind and eye through the artist's unique perspective. It could elicit some interesting discussions as to the effectiveness of each design and why it works. A fine choice for examining the creative use of line, form, and space.-Carol Schene, Taunton Public Schools, MA
Kirkus Reviews
This clever, at times challenging, alphabet book is as graphically beautiful as Chris Van Allsburg's The Z Was Zapped (1987). Newcomer Pelletier's presentation is all spareness and subtlety, asking onlookers to determine the letter from the picture, and supplying one-word clues. A spalls off pieces to become an avalanche; I is a submerged rectangle drifting through blue waters under a full moon in a night sky—iceberg; the M has snow-capped peaks, and appears with the word Mountains. A number of the letters are displayed at unusual angles—the P cants to become a pipe; for L, lines in turquoise and white form delicate edges for four squares of black. The choices convey a wonderful sense of the adaptability of letters, and, by association, of words. The letters will inspire dialogue when shared, e.g., Why is the I submerged so deep? Equally cunning are letters like R, a jagged rip of fiery red, or the crossed fingers on an X-ray image. They take a little time to decipher; for those already accomplished at ABC basics, the extra work will be worth every minute. |
