by Jeff Drew (Author)
Join Alfie the bookworm as he travels through the alphabet from A to Z in this interactive seek-and-find picture book adventure.

From An Awesome Assembly of Animals to a Zamboni Ride Through the Zoo, follow Alfie and discover all the wild wonders of the alphabet--like a bobcat barber blindly buzzing a baboon, and a unicorn on a unicycle playing ukulele! What else can you spot?
Part Where's Waldo, part I-Spy, this is an ABCs book unlike any other. Each letter of the alphabet is its own unique destination, with a richly illustrated scene full of creatures, objects, and actions that begin with the corresponding letter, a rhymed poem, and a guide to help young readers decode each scene!

Bespectacled bookworm Alfie invites readers on a surreal seek-and-find adventure to uncover his bestie, bow-wearing dust bunny Betty, in Drew's absorbing debut. Working letter-by-letter through an entire Latin alphabet of story worlds, Alfie's search is one of near misses as it takes him to a Hydra's House Party Hootenanny and an Ice Cream Island, and sees him encounter "bobsledding barracudas" and a "nimble numbat ninja." Accompanying each letter's rhyming, four-quatrain poem ("Space is certainly spacious!/ And spreading, so it seems./ Betty slips from Alfie's sight, / but he sees her in his dreams") are slick, photorealistic digital depictions of the verse's many alliterative mentions, plus an abundance of additional examples that similarly lean into the absurd. Betty is hidden throughout the spreads, her size making her difficult to spot. Luckily, back matter provides a guide to her whereabouts and each picture's alphabet-appropriate items--the very quantity of which guarantees rereads. Ages 4-8. (Nov.)
