I consider myself a little wee bit of a Kate de Goldi connoisseur - having read (and loved) everything she has had published. I watched her read 'Clubs' aloud and it was FANTASTIC!!
'The ACB with Honora Lee' (for kids and adults alike) is beautifully illustrated by Gregory O'Brien, on LOVELY thick paper...OOOh it is so delicious!!!... It tells the tale of a young girl called Perry (?? I know!) and the relationship she forms with her eccentric grandmother whilst making an ABC book.
This is not your conventional ABC book and, as anyone who has read de Goldi's children's book 'Clubs' or 'Billy' will know... this book is hugely observational, humorous and filled with lots of lovely, unique details... like the bees, which find summer too hot and bothery and so just fall out of the sky and die on the pavement.
Rambling, I know.. but I guess you can also deduce that I really enjoyed this book. It is not quite Clubs but it is still pretty good.
