“I have a weirdly specific soft spot for alphabet books that also tell a story - I think it's fun to try and imagine a story that works in alphabetical order. This book is fun and inventive, and just as silly and charming as we've all come to expect Mo Willems to be. There is lots to look at on each page, and lots of opportunities to laugh together!”
