Alphabetter

by Dan Bar-el, illustrated by Graham Ross

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...
