Bookroo's summary

In a topsy-turvy Halloween show, the alphabet is out of order, and A isn't ready. With letters like Z for zombie and P for pirate, who will lead the spooky performance? As the costumed letters vie for the spotlight, tiny pumpkins try to restore order. Will X find a fitting role in time, or will chaos reign? Dive into this vibrant, letter-perfect Halloween adventure where each character has a mind of its own, and surprises lurk at every turn.

From the publisher

H gets top billing – but a stubborn B has something scary to say – as the inside-out alphabet gives a howl-arious Halloween performance. Ack! It’s time for the show, and A isn’t ready. But then again, Halloween can only start with one letter, no matter how the A-B-Cs normally go! The misbehaving alphabet is back, and there’s no telling who will take the stage next. Z for zombie? P for pirate? Will X think of something good in time? Neon-bright, comically detailed illustrations show a cacophony of costumed letters, each with a mind and personality all its own. Along the bottom, tiny pumpkins arrange the players in proper order, making this alphabet story letter-perfect for Halloween.
