Perfect for classrooms! “An alphabet book with attitude.” — Booklist

It’s chaos! It’s pandemonium! And it’s definitely not as easy as A-B-C! Filled with visually humorous details, Bob Kolar’s colorful illustrations are the perfect foil for Alethea Kontis’s snappy story about the comic confusion that comes when the letters of the alphabet, like a class of unruly children, step out of order and show that each one has a mind of its own.

Hysterical. . . . A must for preschool and elementary classrooms.
—Kirkus Reviews

Hilarious, unique…this book will be revisited many times.
—Newton’s Book News

A fun and hip tale for budding readers who don’t like their letters in order.
—Kids Literati blog

Playful and savvy…a welcome relief for parents of preschoolers who are bored with predictable phonics lessons.
—Time Out New York Kids

Delightful.
—Salt Lake Tribune

Hilarious…an entertaining experiment in challenging the “normal” order, this book will be great fun for the whole family.
—The Bloomsbury Review

Perhaps the most imaginative alphabet book since Chris Van Allsburg’s The Z Was Zapped.
—Washington Post

Bob Kolar’s pictures are perfect…funny, colorful and chaotic.
—Waterbury Republican-American

A hilarious laugh-out-loud romp — not your average alphabet book!
—Piedmont Parent
