Alphaoops!: The Day Z Went Firstby Alethea Kontis
Staff Pick
Z is sick of always being last. When he insists on going first, the other letters take notice. They want new positions, too! Clever, chaotic, and super silly, this book is perfect for kids who know the alphabet and are looking for a fun twist. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:It's backwards! It's inside out! It's every letter for itself! This laugh-out-loud romp is not your average alphabet book!
Z is tired of always having to be last when the alphabet family lines up. He is demanding fair and equal treatment! The letters (more or less) agree to go backwards, but it's not long before P has some ideas of his own. And so does H, for that matter. In fact, it seems as if almost every letter has a different opinion about how the alphabet should be arranged. It's chaos! It's pandemonium! And it's definitely not as easy as A-B-C! Filled with visually humorous details, Bob Kolar's colorful illustrations are the perfect foil for Alethea Kontis's snappy story about the comic confusion that comes when the letters of the alphabet, like a class of unruly children, step out of order and show that each one has a mind of its own. Review:"Hysterical....A must for preschool and elementary classrooms." Kirkus Reviews Review:"Reflecting the letters' saucy ways, the colorful, stylized artwork dramatizes the action and offers bits of comic byplay for the observant. An alphabet book with attitude." Booklist Review:"Plenty of details to absorb, colorful images to grab the eye, and a confused letter template running below the action create alphabet antics for early readers." School Library Journal Review:"Playful and savvy....A welcome relief for parents of preschoolers who are bored with predictable phonics lesions." Time Out New York Kids Synopsis:Z is tired of always having to be last when the alphabet family lines up. The letters more or less agree to go backwards, but it's not long before every letter has a different opinion about how the alphabet should be arranged.
