Over the last few months, I have discovered the Sleeping Bear Press' Alphabet series, which is nothing short of excellent.
Covering a wide range of subjects, from "A is for America: An American Alphabet" to "P is for Pilgrim: A Thanksgiving Alphabet" (which I read to my kids yesterday), the books take a topic and present themes relating to it in alphabetical order. These are accompanied by simple, lyrical text, aimed at younger readers, accompanied by more detailed information for advanced readers (and parents!) on each page's sidebar.
The illustrations are of high quality and easily retain young reader interest. I do hope they will consider producing books focused on Islam and other faiths as part of this series in the future, on the lines of their book "A is for Abraham: A Jewish Family Alphabet".
