On Market Street opens up with a single paragraph and ends with one. Every page in between is a letter of the alphabet but with illustrations so intricate and detailed, that young readers may take hours to pour over each drawing. The story is essentially an alphabetized list of what a little boy buys for his friend, where each item, (playing cards, quilts, yarn) composes an entire outfit. This original concept book contains illustrations that will foster young imaginations and encourage young minds to seek the alphabet wherever they go.
