Bookroo's summary
In a world where A is for salad and B is for Viking, nothing is straightforward. Dive into a quirky alphabet adventure where letters defy expectations. Is A for the alligator munching greens, or something else entirely? Each page challenges you to rethink the ABCs in a hilariously unexpected way. Get ready for a playful twist on learning that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the alphabet. What do X and Y stand for? Maybe they're not as important as you think. Uncover the fun in this topsy-turvy journey through letters.
From the publisher
A is for what? A is for salad, and B is for Viking. Welcome to the wacky world of Mike Lester, where nothing is as it seems. Is A really for salad, or is it for the alligator eating a bowl of mixed greens? And maybe B is for the beaver wearing a Viking helmet. You’ll have to look twice to figure out what each letter really stands for in this irreverent alphabet book. Learning your ABCs has never been so much F-U-N. Mike Lester “turns the alphabet picture book on its hoary head . . . the book is hilarious, right down to its view of X and Y: ‘not important. Never use them’.” US News and World Report
