For fans of P is for Pterodactyl comes this groundbreaking spin on the ABC’s from an acclaimed, bestselling author and artist pairing!

To begin with, the book starts in a classroom for letters. The teacher wants to let the letters know that even though they look different, they really are all connected. As, we go through the alphabet from A to Z, the story shows us how an A is really an H that is slouching or an F is an E on a ski. Each letter’s link to another letter is extremely imaginative!

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!

The Alphabet’s Alphabet Review:

This is an awesome children’s book which anyone can enjoy!

As an adult, I thought this book was so creative in the way it compared the letters with one another. Generally in such books, the letters follow a specific theme to a word or a setting. However, in this book, the author stands out and twist the letters and compares it with other letters. Moreover, I just laughed out loud with the letter “S” (I guess it is a tough one to compare with others isn’t it?). Moreover, the quote from each page rhymes with the next page, which makes the story so much fun!

Similarly, the illustrations by Dan Santat are gorgeous and adorable. Altogether, the reader is in for a treat with the breathtaking colors, as the letters walk across the desert, to skiing in the slopes. My favorite letters was F stretching and H in a pair of stilts. Indeed, their experiences are adorable and hilarious. Moreover, each page is a visual treat for the eyes that will hold the attention of the young one.

This is definitely one a book that any pre – schooler would enjoy. I think this is a perfect book to use for them to compare the letters with one another and help them remember it better. I hope the team does another book for just numbers too as that would be interesting. Overall, this is a perfect book to gift a young child.
