This ode to the alphabet is wickedly funny, smart, and saucy and will have kids saying ABC, again please, you brigand
This wry and winsome picture book is a spicy alphabet soup indeed With each letter-centric verse introducing you to characters like noisome Naomi (nervy as a newt), King Kang (the killer kangaroo who plays kazoo), and even the lovey-dovey lunatic from Lvov, you ll never get bored learning that B is for Belligerent Bear instead of balloon or ball
With language that tickles with alliteration and keen wit, and drawings that gleefully capture western melodrama, domestic disasters, near-death by piano lessons, and excruciating concertina concerts, this classic Steig & Steig alphabet book is a feast for eyes and ears alike."
