The U.S. and Canadian prairies are the focus of this uneven alphabet book. Poems awkwardly attempt to paint pictures of the land--"Underground begins with U, / it's houses built of sod-- / where people lived beneath the soil, / today we think that's odd"--while sidebars provide background. Landscape illustrations done in hues verging on garish accompany the text. (c) Copyright 2011. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
