(2) K-3 This alphabet book explodes with raucous humor. Each letter provides its own slapstick vignette; the illustrations resemble hand-tinted pictures from the 1940s, with cherubic, chubby-legged children. Most of the jokes involve someone smaller or less important, a child or an animal, triumphing comically over the larger and stronger. MacDonald exaggerates the onomatopoeic words by playing with their appearance.
