Smushkins: ABC Zoinks

Description: Who better than the goofy, irresistible Smushkins to act out an alphabet of sounds tailored to toddlers? The ABZs go down easy in a concept book that can't miss.

A is for a big-mouthed dog that goes arf. B is for the boing boing boing of three Smushkins riding bouncing balls. Look, there are some Smushkins at the door (ding-dong)! In a Smushkin's world, crackers are tasty (nom nom), log cars are speedy (vroom), and trampolines are the most fun of all (yippee! yippee!). Spend a busy day with the Smushkins, and you might just find yourself ready for sleep right along with them (zzzzoinks). Claudia Rueda follows her delightful Meet the Smushkins with an aural alphabet featuring a lovable cast of characters toddlers are sure to visit again.

Review Quotes: A strong primer for early ABC learning. . . .
--School Library Journal

Rueda's saturated depictions of her solemn-faced, large-eyed creatures--some clearly identifiable animals, others more ambiguous, but all adorable--will enchant youngsters; fans of the Smushkin series will easily identify their favorite characters with relative ease. . . . An abecedarian delight, perfectly described by its letter "Y" "Yippee!"
