Photographs from 1852 to 1991 (from all over the world) show different people, places animals and things to show an unique take on the classic alphabet book. These wonderful black and white photographs are the perfect way of showing the alphabet. Continue the fun with little snippets of information about each photograph at the end. While great for the classroom, or a little one learning the alphabet, this is a fantastic gift for an adult who loves photography, who collects alphabet books or just the gift for the person who has everything.

This delightful volume uses twenty-six great photographs from the J. Paul Getty Museum's collection to show children the alphabet in action, and teach them some interesting ways to look at, and wonder about, works of art. Included are photographs by such masters as Walker Evans, Julia Margaret Cameron, Andre Kertesz, Weegee, Dorothea Lange, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. P Is for Peanut can be enjoyed by children and by their parents, too: readers of all ages will appreciate its beautiful and witty design and its playful juxtapositions of words and images.


Lisa Gelber and Jody Roberts are children's art teachers in Los Angeles.
