Critics Review
” Portland ABC …will certainly bid for heavy rotation in Rose City Montessori classrooms and progressive playdates…
“Portland ABC…will certainly bid for heavy rotation in Rose City Montessori classrooms and progressive playdates… The artist/writer’s bold alphabetic take on Portland makes use of local icons like Voodoo Donuts and the Hawthorne Bridge.”
Portland Monthly
”‘Portland ABC’ is a banner in book form to wave with PDX pride.”
The Register-Guard
“Many of the things kids love about living in Portland are right there on the page, making this a very special little book for any young—or old, really!—Portlander. Seriously, who living in Portland wouldn’t want a beautifully illustrated book with the elephant statue in the North Park Blocks near Powell’s City of Books (that’s P) representing the letter E?”
