An unjacketed, lower-priced edition of the acclaimed picture book. Caldecott Medalist Paul O. Zelinsky illustrates an outrageously silly story about the joys (and challenges) of friendship. Zebra wants to put on a show as simple as A-B-C, but Zebras friend Moose has other (unexpected and hilarious) ideas!
Everybody will be elated with this goofy new way of going from A to Z. The Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books (starred review)
Zebra thinks the alphabet should be simple. A is for Apple. B is for Ball. Easy! But his friend Moose is too excited to wait his turn, and when M isnt for Moose (Mouse gets the honor), the rest of the letters better run for cover. Exuberant and zany storytelling brings to life two friends and one laugh-out-loud comedy of errors thats about friendship, sharing, and compromise.
The incomparable Paul O. Zelinskys artwork is bursting at the seamsliterallywith preschool appeal. Breaking the borders of the page and creating the art both digitally and traditionally, Zelinsky turns convention on its head. The result is a picture book that is innovative, hilarious, and begging to be read over and over again.
