For fans of P is for Pterodactyl comes this groundbreaking spin on the ABC’s from an acclaimed, bestselling author and artist pairing!
Here’s a totally twisted take on the alphabet that invites readers to look at it in a whole new way: An A is an H that just won’t stand up right, a B is a D with its belt on too tight, and a Z is an L in a tug-of-war fight! Twenty-six letters, unique from each other — and yet, every letter looks just like one another! Kind of like…one big family.
From two bestselling masters of wordplay and visual high jinks comes a mind-bending riddle of delightful doppelgängers and surprising disguises that reveal we’re more alike than we may think. You’ll never look at the alphabet the same way again!
The Alphabet’s Alphabet is a such a fun book for little readers and adults too! The illustrations are so bright, humorous, and perfect for the story being told.
I absolutely love the connections the author made in the story. For example, that “B is a D with a belt too tight” or that “F” is an “A” with its leg stretched up. These are such great connections that can help little readers make even more connections to each letter when learning the alphabet. Plus, there are even some jokes made throughout for older readers. I laughed at the back cover with the “i” taking a picture saying “i” on me.
This book is absolutely worth picking up for your young readers. As a mama one of a one-year-old I cannot wait to share this book with my son!
