Book Reviews of Z is for Zamboni: A Hockey Alphabet (Alphabet Books)
Book Review: Avoid the Board Book - Get the Full Book Instead
Summary: 4 Stars
The board book very of the book pales in comparison to the full version. Sometimes board books are edited to keep the main story and essence of the book intact. Sometimes they are not. Not only does this board book understandably leave out all the interesting facts on each of the pages to save space, it also less understandably contains only 2 lines of the 4 line rhyme for each letter. With only 2 lines, guess what? it doesn't even rhyme. At first my spouse thought maybe it didn't rhyme because it was originally a Canadian book and was translated from French. (lol!) Here's an example, for the letter F, the board book has only "F is for the Forward who likes to skate quite fast". The full book continues with "He loves to pass as well as shoot to score a goal at last." The book is so much richer with the all four lines for each letter. The board book has the same beautiful pictures as the original, but without only 2 of the four main lines for each letter, it really misses something including the rhyme. We are now happily the owners of the full book, which has let us know how much we were missing, and the board book will be moving on to the discard pile.
