Schiffer Book review: A is for Anchor

This unique alphabet book came to us courtesy of Schiffer Publishing. 

* this book includes a gorgeous poster of the alphabet yo hang in your child's room. My little boy does love this book he is 3, Rowan. 

This book is by Paul Slifer. It is inspired by designs from traditional western tattoo art. 

This is my sons favorite book he was sent. He looks at it over and over again, sounding out phonics from the words, "A is for anchor, anchor says "AAAA" its really adorable.

It is a unique book because the letters are in the graphic style of Tattoo Art. Each picture in this book is breathtakingly captured in a way to make your child's imagination soar!

A is for Anchor is a delightful illustrated alphabet inspired by classic images from traditional Western tattoo designs. Written and illustrated by renowned tattoo artist Paul Slifer, the book combines his love for classic tattoo art with his interest in children’s books, which was piqued when he became the father of two girls. Painted in the traditional “flash” style of tattoo design making, this book was designed to appeal to parents looking for a different type of alphabet book for their children as well as fans of tattoo art and illustrated books. With its retro, folk art charm and engaging verse, A is for Anchor is a playful book which celebrates a venerable artistic heritage in a new innovative way. You can also make the book part of your decor with a special alphabet poster included with each book. Great for all ages.
