Not quite as cute or as pretty as AlphaOops!: The Day Z Went First, but just as interesting and even more educational. It explains some spelling rules and uses of the different letters.
Disgruntled alphabet letters cause mayhem before realizing they like their place in the order of things after all. Silly, zany fun. Readers who enjoy books like Alpha Oops! and Scrambled States of America will enjoy this one.
