The Disappearing Alphabet

(2) K-3 Illustrated by David Diaz. The celebrated poet and author of Opposites and More Opposites plays once again with words, here surmising in twenty-six poems what might befall us should we lose the alphabet. The tone of mild astonishment suits the subject matter, as Wilbur's poems are filled with small, satisfying surprises. Diaz's slick computer-generated art is bold and appropriately playful.
Reviewer: Jennifer M. Brabander | Horn Book Magazine Issue: September, 1998
