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!
REVIEW
This is a really fun book that explains to children just learning their ABCs and how to read and write using them learns how the letters are all connected. It also gives a clue on how to write them as well. I love “B is just a D with a belt on too tight”. I found it humorous and it didn’t follow any typical ABC book. The rhymes are all spot on and easy to pick up for new readers. This is a book that can grow with a child.

This looks like an extra special alphabet book!
What a wonderful book to assist with learning.
cute
This would be great for my grandkids. Thanks.
Nice book cover and the book sounds interesting
I’d love to ,give this to my great niece who would read it to her siblings 🙂 It sounds like a book that will capture the attention of all children!
The entry to visit Dan on Facebook gives this message: This Content Isn’t Available Right Now
When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.
So excited for this book!
It sounds like such a fun book. I know my nephew would enjoy it.
I had a niece born this year (I’ve yet to meet her thanks to Covid), and this would be great to give her.
This will be the perfect book to donate to a needy local library.
