Illustrated by
Jorge Martin.
A wordless spread shows a man and boy being quiet at home. Then the man sneezes ("Ah...Ah...Ah...Ah-choo!") and frightens the boy, who drops his ball out the window: "Biff! Bop! Boom! Boing!" The pair chases the ball through town, each interaction in alphabetical order. The onomatopoeic text and the sense of motion in the cartoony illustrations make for a boisterous addition to alphabet-book collections.
