In a welcome reissue of an alphabet book first published in 2015, twenty-six “playful pigs” wake up and explore a field of colorful, freestanding letters. The entire alphabet, in both upper and lowercase, runs along the top and bottom borders as each pig interacts with a single letter. “Abigail Pig admired an A. Billy Pig balanced on a B.” By the time Yolanda yawns and Zeke zzzs, the moon has risen and it’s time to go home. A playful (and humorous and painlessly instructive) book for young children learning their ABCs, with engaging gouache and pencil illustrations in Lobel’s recognizable style.
