A hilarious and unexpected backward alphabet picture book.

Are you ready to start the alphabet? Let’s go! Z is for Zebra.

Confused? Zebra didn’t expect the alphabet to start with Z, either. Usually it starts with A is for Apple, B is for . . . something, then all the other letters, then Z. But today Apple was nowhere to be found.

Zebra isn’t very happy about it. Neither is the second-to-last animal in the alphabet, Yak.

In order to figure out where their friend Apple might be, Zebra and Yak must go on a quest to discover what’s gone wrong. But in an alphabet book this weird, who knows what could happen next?

Praise for Zebra and Yak: The Backwards Alphabet Book:

“The cartoon illustrations will appeal to fans of Mo Willems and Ben Clanton . . . The clever meta humor, quick pacing, and snappy dialogue will entice a range of readers, including kids slightly older than the average ABC book audience. This classic concept book turned topsy-turvy is packed with appeal from Z to A.” —Kirkus Reviews

“This fun, playful read will delight beginning readers just as much as the early elementary crowd who already knows the alphabet. A delightfully imaginative approach to phonetic awareness that will prompt giggles and smirks.” —School Library Journal
