Anno's Alphabet

Rating

The alphabet is just an illusion.

It's an alphabet book. The art is well-done, but it's just a depiction on the left side of the letter, like an illustrated piece of wood, like the A is an illusory triangle (like the Penrose triangle), where it doesn't make any sense. The letters tend to be illusions. On the right side of A is an anvil, but a weird anvil where they're heating up and hitting wood with a hammer. The border of the A pages is acanthus and aster leaves and flowers. For R, it's a rocking horse where the legs are illusory and backwards, and the border is roses and rabbits. It's not bad. It's pretty to look at, but not interesting enough to read more than once.
