Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Raggedy Ann's Alphabet Book
Johnny Gruelle · 2013
63/100
👎 Skip It
Gruelle's vintage illustrations carry genuine charm and Raggedy Ann is a name generations of families recognize with warmth. But as an alphabet book the content is as minimal as it gets — no narrative, no story, just letters and words. This is really a nostalgia collector's piece with some incidental value for the youngest ABC learners, not a standout choice among today's alphabet books.
