ABC Uk - Couverture rigide

If you are often asked for a gift for visitors from abroad, and you want something different that reflects our culture, then ABC UK fits the bill. It has lots of potential: It makes an ideal souvenir, can be enjoyed by all ages and is educational too. There is a glossary in the back, and it could certainly be used in classrooms to discuss citizenship. In short, a must-have in every bookshop. --The Bookseller

Jamee Dunn's book is a heartwarming mix of the predictable and the unexpected, the traditional and the mmulticultural. Helen Bate's witty illustrations make the most of the resulting juxtapositions. Ona bad day you might want to substitute Hoodies for Holmes and Reality TV for Robin Hood but this is the UK on a good day, as it should be in a children's book, and as grown-ups sometimes need reminding. --The Financial Times
