ALBERT’S ABCS: A SIBLING STORY, by Henry Cole, Peachtree, March 5, 2024, Hardcover, $18.99 (ages 2-5)
Follow siblings and their emotions throughout the day in Albert’s ABCs: A Sibling Story, a new picture book by Henry Cole.
Big brother Albert gets increasingly frustrated with little brother Baxter. Crying! Diaper! Hungry! Irritated! A normal day and a familiar sibling interaction escalate alphabetically until Grandma resolves all the problems, with an X for a kiss goodnight, followed by Yawn, and, of course, ZZZZ. —Synopsis provided by Peachtree
Albert’s ABCs is a clever take on alphabet books. It tells a story through single words that go beyond the basics — Stumbles. Scrapes. Tantrum! Author/illustrator Henry Cole’s expressive illustrations bring the whole thing together. Little readers, especially those with siblings, will love it.
