Kids and parents who are tired of the cute little alphabetized critter parade will be relieved to find this book contains DANGEROUS (and very silly) creatures instead. Families with multi-age kids may especially appreciate this clever satirical take, which embraces the tradition of reading an alphabet book to younger kids while making it entertaining for the older ones. It also illustrates how the power of imagination can lead to an effective compromise between ideas. Great fun!”

Find room on the shelf for another abecedarium! Most collections will want to add this silly and fresh spin on a classic genre.”
