The Alphabet Thief
Autor Bill Richardson Ilustrat de Roxanna Bikadoroffen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 mar 2017 – vârsta de la 5 până la 9 ani
When night falls, along comes a peculiar thief who steals each letter of the alphabet, creating a topsy-turvy world as she goes.
The alphabet thief stole all of the B's, and all of the bowls became owls...
It seems that no one can stop her, until the Z's finally send her to sleep so that all the other letters can scamper back to where they belong.
Bill Richardson's zany rhymes and Roxanna Bikadoroff's hilarious illustrations will delight young readers with the silly fun they can have with language - and may even inspire budding young writers and artists to create their own word games.

Recenzii
"These poems are brilliant. They gleam with Bill Richardson's wit and deep humanity. It’s a collection of silly verse, profound insights, and deeply moving passages that will make you smile. This book is not a confection, it is a feast! Hilarious and shockingly human." Louise Penny, author of Still Life
Extras
The Alphabet Thief was daring and smart.
When the night was silent and black,
She stole all the letters, she gathered them up
And took them away in her sack.
* * *
The Alphabet Thief stole all of the B’s,
And all of the bowls became owls.
All of the brats were turned into rats,
And when Bill became ill, how he howled.
* * *
Can nobody stop the Alphabet Thief?
Can nobody end her spree?
Can somebody best her, can someone arrest her
Before she takes all of the G’s?
