The Alphabet from A to Y With Bonus Letter Z!

The acclaimed entertainer and bestselling writer Steve Martin andthe wildly intelligent New Yorker cartoonistRoz Chast workforce up in a bizarre, fantastic tour by way of the alphabet.
The ABCs have by no means had it so good. Created by two of right now’s wittiest, most imaginative minds, The Alphabet from A to Y with Bonus Letter Z! is a sheer delight from A to Z. In twenty-six alliterative couplets, Steve Martin conjures up far more than mere apples and zebras. As an alternative we meet Horace the hare, whose hairdo hides hunchbacks, and Ollie the owl, who owed Owen an oboe. Roz Chast contributes the proper visible settings for Martin’s zany two-liners. Her immediately recognizable drawings are full of humorous touches each broad and refined.
Every rereading—and there will probably be many—delivers new delights and discoveries. There, hidden behind Unhealthy Child Bubbleducks, is a framed image of a beatnik holding balloons; and the letter C finds clunky Clarissa all clingy and clueless adrift in a panorama cluttered with pictures starting from a curiously snug clown to Chuck’s Chili stand. A sensible, laugh-inducing introduction to the alphabet for younger kids, The Alphabet from A to Y with Bonus Letter Z! may even enchant adults with its matchless mixture of the delicate and the foolish.
