"For those of us lucky enough to have visited or lived on the Cape as children, each letter of Leslie Hatton's Cape Cod ABCs rings true. The children's book, beautifully illustrated by Kate Walls, provides an A-to-Z of quintessential Cape Cod activities.  We all remember letter "D", the dunes we scaled that were as tall and daunting as mountains.  Of course, letter "B" is close to all of our hearts as Cape Codders: the beach.  According to Cape Cod ABCs, no matter which Cape beach you choose, "there's no way that you can lose."  Author Leslie Hatton, a Cape native who now resides in Bourne, was a teacher before she became a stay-at-home mom and writer.  "I want people to read it and recall their own special times spent here on the Cape." says Hatton.  Illustrator Kate Walls, also a Cape native, fulfilled a dream she has had since fourth grade when she illustrated Cape Cod ABCs.  "Inspiration was all around me," says Walls.  For more information about the book, visit capecodabcs.com.

Here's a delightful picture book for toddlers through kindergarten or first grade that teaches about the Cape in a more in-depth manner than you might expect from an ABC book.  Bourne author Leslie Hatton and illustrator Kate Walls of South Yarmouth use vibrant colors to attract and dazzle young eyes, but they don't talk down to the kids, who will learn a lot while enjoying story time."
- Melanie Lauwers, Cape Cod Times Books Editor

The book is sure to become a fast favorite in any beach-loving kid's collection."
