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.
