AlphaOops!: The Day Z Went First

AlphaOops!: The Day Z Went First by Kontis, Alethea. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780763627287.

Its backwards! Its inside out! Its every letter for itself! This laugh-out-loud romp is not your average alphabet book! Z is tired of always having to be last when the alphabet family lines up. He is demanding fair and equal treatment! The letters (more or less) agree to go backwards, but its not long before P has some ideas of his own. And so does H, for that matter. In fact, it seems as if almost every letter has a different opinion about how the alphabet should be arranged. Its chaos! Its pandemonium! And its definitely not as easy as A-B-C! Filled with visually humorous details, Bob Kolars colorful illustrations are the perfect foil for Alethea Kontiss snappy story about the comic confusion that comes when the letters of the alphabet, like a class of unruly children, step out of order and show that each one has a mind of its own.
