G Is for One Gzonk!: An Alpha-Number-Bet Book

(4) K-3 A young artist's rhyming alphabet book, populated by silly monsters, is subverted by creatures intent on turning his illustrations into a counting exercise. The unadulterated zaniness of the text and illustrations seems intended to prevent, not promote, alphabet learning, and readers may become exhausted by the frenetic pace. A dedication in rhyme acknowledges the author/illustrator's debt to Seuss and Lear.
