The Absolutely Awful Alphabet

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full

(Paperback)-Suppose each letter in the alphabet were some ghoulish creep. (" A is an awfully arrogant Amphibian...") And suppose each ensuing letter, nastier than the last, was about to attack, or get attacked by, one of its neighbors. (" P , a particularly putrid Predator ... plans to pulverize Q, a quivering, quizzical Quacker...") You'd have the delightfully spooky and suspenseful version of the alphabet that is Mordicai Gerstein's The Absolutely Awful Alphabet . Alphabet lessons have never been so slimy, ugly, nasty, or just plain weird, and Gerstein's illustrations strike just the right tone. With their blue tongues, frizzy black nose hairs, pointy fangs, and slit eyes, these letters are wonderfully terrible to behold. The best of the worst? V , a "voracious vegetable vampire who is viciously vile." Warning: You'll never look at an ear of corn the same way again. (Ages 5 and older) --Jean Lenihan

Overall Rating: Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full ( 4 reviews )
  1. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Apr 20 2008

    My 5 yr old daughter's favorite book. The focus is alliteration. Each letter is originally illustrated and has an interesting description.

    This well illustrated and eye catching alphabet book is like no other. Children will be excited by the colorful and unique drawings while the reader will be thrilled to be using unsual vocabulary to descibe the extraordinary adjective and nouns. This is one book that can be repeatedly read for fun without falling asleep!

    I'd have to agree with the previous reviewer that this is a great book. I really enjoy reading it to our son, who, with this book's help, has articulated his first letter (O). It is enjoyable for adults and captivating for children. The pictures are great, and I am very impressed that the letters drawn in the title are drawn differently to those throughout the book. Just detail is quite unusual in this digital age. The Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddleduck books these days use the same pictures over and over again, just cut & pasted into different contexts. Well done Mordicai Gerstein! 5 stars! Thoroughly recommended!
