Illustrated by
Jennifer Johnson Haywood.
In this lively book, a riddle in verse form asks for a scientific or technological term representing each letter of the alphabet. Though a few of the rhymes are forced, they're generally clever, and the information is accurate and engaging. Bright illustrations add clues. The first letter of the answer is printed in heavy type and is followed by blanks spaces for the missing letters.
