Ages Birth to 2: ABC - Text and illustrations by Matthew Porter."A is for alligator," but don't worry about this critter- with its gently rounded shape and wide eyes-scaring your little one. In fact, all the animals in this sturdy board book, each representing a letter of the alphabet, serve as friendly representatives of their species. Acrylic-and-ink paintings on a grainy wood background create a handsome, vintage look, and telltale features (like big beaver teeth) help young children easily grasp the creatures' differences. Simply Read, $9.
