tagged: alphabet, humorous stories, friendship
Description

Did you ever try to use an egg in place of a football? Dress up a live quail in doll's clothes when you didn't have a doll? Or strap rag-dolls onto your feet in place of slippers?

In Alphabetter, twenty-six boys and girls find themselves in twenty-six different predicaments when the alphabet refuses to cooperate with them. In the end, the solution turns out to be right on the next page, if only they can find it...

Editorial Reviews

"Appropriate for early elementary students who enjoy funny stories and look-and-find books."

— Book Notes

"An original alphabet book that is filled with fun preschool humour. Ross's illustrations capture the whimsical fun nature of the book and will have youngsters laughing out loud."

— BC Parent Magazine

"It is cleverness writ and painted large, and it's delivered with an infectious exuberance and cadence that manifests itself not just in the playful text, but also in illustrator Ross's quirky, kinetic characters."

— The Globe and Mail

"Indeed one of the better alphabet books. Highly recommended."

— CM Magazine
