Now in paperback-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.

A hilarious, inventive take on the alphabet book.
Showcases Bob Kolar's bright, funny illustrations.
Now in paperback format, perfect for classrooms.
