Children will not be able to resist inventing imaginative examples of their own.

Take Away the A Bewertungen

All alphabet books require mastery of the letters in order to read them, but this one manages that paradox with genius. * The New York Times Book Review *
Beyond the inherent fun of the concept (which has plenty of potential for classroom activities), every scene tells a story - it's practically 26 books in one. * STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly *
Amid the flood of alphabet books, now and then one rises to the surface. This one is a prize catch. * STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews *
A playful celebration of language not as a dry, mathematical exercise in letter-organisation but as a living organism, in which letters make meaning through a vast mesh of metaphorical associations driven by the imagination - the very faculty that is the hallmark of children's minds. -- Maria Popova * Brain Pickings *
A silly but smart introduction to wordplay * Irish Times *
