Description
Hold on to your hats with this alphabet misadventure!
Enter the colourful world of Dianna Bonder, where coughing camels, lazy llamas, and rowdy rooster all muddle their way through the letters of the alphabet. From Auntie Augusta's apple allspice pie to the zebra with a zipper, you can join the delightful animal and human characters, including a toad with a tepid cup of tea, complete with a pinch of flea. Find out what happens when an inquisitive goat finds his way into Granny's jumping bean garden. And all the while, keep your eyes peeled for the hidden letter cleverly disguised in each illustration.
Children and adults alike will be captivated by the tongue-twisting rhymes and amusing alliterations that accompany the images. And with each illustration bursting with detail in this renaissance-inspired title, this book is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the ears.
