For fans of P is for Pterodactyl comes this groundbreaking spin on the ABC's from an acclaimed, bestselling author and artist pairing!
Here's a totally twisted take on the alphabet that invites readers to look at it in a whole new way: An A is an H that just won't stand up right, a B is a D with its belt on too tight, and a Z is an L in a tug-of-war fight! Twenty-six letters, unique from each other -- and yet, every letter looks just like one another! Kind of like...one big family.
From two bestselling masters of wordplay and visual hijinks comes a mind-bending riddle of delightful doppelgรคngers and surprising disguises that reveal we're more alike than we may think. You'll never look at the alphabet the same way again!
I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. My thoughts and opinions are my own. Any quotes I use are from an unpublished copy and may not reflect the finished product.

If you like books with a unique concept, definitely check out The Alphabet's Alphabet. I'm 31-years old and still struggled to immediately make sense of each page! I'm sure this is a book we will re-read many times, so maybe the repetition will make the letters easier to identify in the future. ;)
