A is for ark. But did you know that if you turn an A upside down and round the point out a little, it becomes an ark?

B is for balloon. But did you know that if you blow it up really big, the hole in the middle floats away like a balloon?

In this wonderfully creative alphabet book, letters are pulled, twisted, reversed, and curled until they become part of what they represent. F becomes a fish, and Y becomes a yak!

Young readers will be fascinated with the way the letters evolve into the final creation. They'll never look at the alphabet the same way again!

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3 An alphabet book that is imaginative, original, and bound to strike a creative note in children. Boldly colored upper- and lower-case letters appear at the top left of every page. Below them, each boxed animated letter jumps, dances, or gently sways to become a part of an object or a scene on the facing page, with one-word labels. MacDonald's A tilts, flops over, and literally becomes an ark as it turns itself around. An N turns over, glides up a tree trunk, and becomes a nest for three young birds. Crisp, fresh, and totally effective, it's a unique way of looking at the alphabet. This is a book to encourage creative thinking and for sheer enjoyment of MacDonald's precise graphics, rather than for object identification among the very young. A visual delight.
