Alpha Oops!: The Day Z Went First

48 pp. | Candlewick | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-2728-3 $15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bob Kolar. Tired of being last, the letter Z leads a raucous call for reordering, which leads to silly alphabet anarchy and the message that it's okay to mix things up. Bold, colorful digitally created illustrations add to the humor. The text presents some creative letter associations, such as "A is for accordian" (although the title's "oops" could also refer to the book's misspelling of accordion).
