Book Reviews of AlphaOops!: The Day Z Went First
Book Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book for my pre-k class when we were learning the ABC's... they absoulutly loved this book! And so did I. It was so cute and funny, I was actually laughing out loud when I read it the first time, the humor probably went over the kids, but it was still a great book. They ask me to read this book to them atleast once a week. A must buy for any one teaching the Abc's to children.
Summary of AlphaOops!: The Day Z Went First
It's backwards! It's inside out! It's every letter for itself! This laugh-out-loud romp is not your average alphabet book!Z is tired of always having to be last when the alphabet family lines up. He is demanding fair and equal treatment! The letters (more or less) agree to go backwards, but it's not long before P has some ideas of his own. And so does H, for that matter. In fact, it seems as if almost every letter has a different opinion about how the alphabet should be arranged. 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.
