Reviews"In collaborating with the fiercely imaginative visual artist Kara Walker, Kincaid has transposed this mode of thinking into an amalgam of erudition, discourse, storytelling and picture book art . A simple child's garden of ABCs their "encyclopedia" is not. Kincaid's adult base, too, will gravitate toward it . . . Cunning and often anthropomorphic, the alphabet book's imagery interpolates child-driven versions of [Walker's] acidly sardonic shadow art with soft-edged, watercolor-drenched vignettes that play hide-and-seek with the letters they're called on to represent . . . Kincaid and Walker are unafraid to spin the world differently and make it matter in new ways ." --Celia McGee, The New York Times Book Review
