Award-winning author Julie Krantz's new children's picture book, YOGABETS, introduces the time-honored English alphabet with a contemporary twist-yoga. Written in verse, YOGABETS is the charming story of two young siblings' jam-packed day told by way of ideograms, pictures that illuminate the shape of each letter of the alphabet. Lovers of contemporary children's poets--Joyce Sidman, Jack Prelutsky, Ken Nesbit and Shel Silverstein--will especially enjoy Ms. Krantz's work. YOGABETS not only entertains and informs children about the ABCs, it also manages to captivate parents, teachers and librarians with its delightful tale and innovative illustrations. Especially interesting is the way Ms. Krantz interprets each letter of the alphabet with a unique yoga pose. A must-read for any library or home collection of abecedarians-one that's guaranteed to spend more time off than on the shelves Fans of timeless picture books such as Kay Thompson's Eloise and Eloise in Paris, and Ludwig Bemelman's Madeline, Madeline at Christmas and Mad About Madeline to name a few, as well as readers of Kevin Henkes' Julius: The Baby of the World, Chrysanthemum and Lily will find much to enjoy and admire in Ms. Krantz's offerings. Fans of contemporary writers such as Ian Falconer (Olivia, Olivia and the Fairy Princesses, Olivia Saves the Circus, etc.) and Jane O'Conner (Fancy Nancy, Fancy Nancy: Budding Ballerina, Fancy Nancy: Tea for Two, etc.) will also be charmed my Ms. Krantz's new additions to the picture book world.
