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 high jinks comes a mind-bending riddle of delightful doppelgängers and surprising disguises that reveal we're more alike than we may think. You'll never look at the alphabet the same way again!

This was an uber fun rhyming picture book that will not only help kiddos out with learning their ABCs in a fun new way, but also goes a long way in reminding us that at heart, where it really counts, we are really all the same.  We may look different at first glance, have different interests, likes, dislikes, beliefs, and attractions...but we all share one thing.  We all belong to the same race...the HUMAN race.  Our differences are something to be celebrated because that celebration lifts up another human being who deserves that recognition, who is worthy of that praise, that moment, that time in the spotlight, but in the end, it really elevates us all.  I love how this concept was illustrated so wonderfully throughout the story...as you can see above...with gorgeous full color displays and humor, but it just goes to connect the worded message visually so that it sticks even more.

All in all, a great read for the tykes, but also a great reminder for us all in these times, or any times really.

WE ARE ALL EQUAL by P. Crumble and Jonathan Bentley - REVIEW!

Hi there!

Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.

Stopping in today to bring you news about a NEW Picture Book coming your way this Tuesday via Philomel Books!  It's a story that celebrates the uniqueness of you and me while also showing us how very much the same we are at heart.  Told through a colorful cast of animals, it's sure to delight even the most reluctant of readers, but I digress.  Allow me to introduce today ebook of choice...

We Are All Equal

About the book...

We are all equal, let’s shout it out loud.

We share hopes and dreams, we’re equal and proud.

These animals may all be different from one another, but they know that doesn’t matter. They have different lifestyles, different places of origin, different abilities, different types of families, and more. But big or small, weak or strong, native or new to their land, these animals are all equal, with no one better, more important, or more worthy than the others.

With vivid, vibrant art and a resounding message of tolerance conveyed with a sweet and playful rhyme, this book is a celebration of the many different ways to be, all of which are good, welcome, and equal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With colorful imagery and well rhyming lines, this Picture Book release gets major points for driving home its point in such a way that it's accessible to even the youngest of readers. WE ARE ALL EQUAL … it shouldn't be that hard of a concept and yet, we as a society stumble on it time and time again. No one is better than another because of their appearance, advantages, social standings, financial background, or education. Given the right time, the right place, and the correct placement of heart, we all are entitled to the chance to SHINE. We ALL have the right to the best life we can live, and should be given the chance to do so. Want to be an astronaut? That's not so out of this world! Want to have all the finer things in life? Savings start with a penny! Want to love who you want to love, be who you want to be, and do what you want to do? What's stopping you! Want to change the world? It all starts with a single step. 

WE ARE ALL EQUAL reminds us that though we have our differences, where it really matters, deep down...we are in fact all equal...and that's truly a beautiful thing to be celebrated.
