Author
and illustrator Lauren Faulkenberry takes readers on a lively adventure
through the alphabet from A to Z. Stylish and vibrantly illustrated,
this read-aloud picture book visits an imaginary world where tigers
tango, penguins picnic, and bobcats play be-bop and blues. But there are
fun facts to learn, too. Adults and children can discover together that
leopards eat their dinners in trees, Eskimos invented kayaks to hunt
whales, and crocodiles can grow to be 20 feet long. The
concept for this book was developed based on Faulkenberry's love of
woodcuts, interest in unusual animal behavior,
and preoccupation with the alphabet. The
illustrations are linoleum block prints, colored digitally.
