The hardcover book, A is for Acadia, features vibrant color photographs by Johnson that highlight the island's natural beauty. It includes, among others, images of harbor seals and barred owls as well as landscapes such as Sand Beach and Bass Harbor. Grierson's text accompanies each image. Overall, the book is slightly more sophisticated than many ABC books with roughly 140 words per image. While it is aimed at young children, it is fun and informative and should appeal to residents and visitors of any age. The letter topics range from Acadia, to lighthouse, to nuthatch, to zoophtye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuth Gortner Grierson of Bass Harbor, Maine, is a former music teacher and well-known local naturalist.
