Barely Behaving Daughters

It is a sad little girl who only plays by the rules. Annette, Beatrice, Cleo, Dorothy and their twenty two friends do as they please in this witty, beautifully illustrated and highly imaginative alphabet. Across swamps, plains and high-plateaus, on foot, unicycles or in boats, the barely behaving daughters surprise us at every page. Spunky characters, creative alliterations, a curiously placid tiger: this crafty book is meant to be read with the light heart that comes from dancing to one's own tune.
