Illustrated by
Amanda Gulliver.
"A is for Accident. / Adam had an accident. / It's all right, Adam." Each letter of the alphabet gets an alliterative treatment in this alphabet-book and potty-training-primer combo. O'Connell is dogged in her quest for alphabetically significant potty-related words, and Gulliver's art, while featuring kids with the generic cherubic cuteness of Hummel figurines, valiantly honors the frankness of the text.
