(3) K-3 In a land with only numbers and no letters, five friends decide to make a change. Rube Goldberg–like devices help them invent the alphabet, which also happens to change their world from monochromatic to colorful. Following Joyce's Numberlys app and animated short film, the book retains the original Metropolis-inspired setting while adding interest with both vertical and horizontal layouts.
