From the publisher

Learn the alphabet from legendary author and illustrator RICHARD SCARRY In this classic picture book, Richard Scarry and his high-spirited Busytown characters embark on a wild trip around town from A to Z! The antics begin with Mother Cat causing confusion on her way to the airport, and continue with Curly Pig crashing into a cake; jugglers juggling jars of jam; and dizzy Izzy Lizard zigzagging. There’s enough wacky action to entertain children for hours. And, unlike many ABC books, this one highlights featured letters wherever they appear in a word-not just at the beginning. Learning the alphabet has never been more fun!
