Elfabet by Jane Yolen

Elfabet is a cute little fairy alphabet book. Each letter has a page dedicated to it and only has things on that page that begin with that letter and has a short rhyme. For example. the letter A has a picture of an acorn, an apple, and ant and an apple blossom and a little sprite. And in the border of the picture there is an aardvark, an alligator, and alpine asters. The rhyme describes the elf's action and for A is as follows, A is for Acorn Elf always acrobatic. Fun for all ages.

The Dangerous Alphabet by Neil Gaiman

This alphabet book was almost reminiscent of that Tim Burton book for kids in that it picks up on a darker mood, but in my opinion it was done much better than Tim Burton's. It is about these two kids who go on an adventure in some sort of sewer and come across these monsters who want to do bad things to the kids, but they escape by the end. The book rhymes and there's one line per page, which is accompanied by a great illustration depicting the rhyme and a letter. The illustrations match the overall mood of the book, and an example can be seen on the cover. I don't know if it's for young children, though I'd try anyways as everything is so white washed nowadays and anything not max and ruby sets your heart racing. It was well done though.
