<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A totally twisted take on 26 letters!"--Jacket.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>For fans of<i> P is for Pterodactyl</i> comes this groundbreaking spin on the ABCs from an acclaimed bestselling author and artist duo!</b><b><br></b>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.<br>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!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Recommended for <b>fans of wordplay</b> and other pun-filled alphabet books such as Tom Lichtenheld's <i>E-mergency</i>!--<i><b>Horn Book</b></i><br><br>The collaboration produces an amusing, imaginative excursion, and it prods readers -- especially those new to reading and writing -- to visualize similarities between the symbols. Harris's versifying nails rhyme and meter, and Santat's endless stream of energy delivers on over-the-top gag after another.--<i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i><br><br>The tongue-in-cheek rhyming text is engaging and will be appreciated by youngsters.--<i><b>Booklist</b></i><br><br>With over-the-top creativity, Santat's illustrations use a soft colored palette of secondary colors.
