Z is for Moose



A hilarious reinvention of the classic alphabet book from a Caldecott Medal winning artist.
'Readers accustomed to the usual list of letters will be giggling with suspense by the time ‘L is for Lollipop’ rolls around.' Publishers Weekly, starred review.

Zebra is absolutely certain he’ll be able to direct everyone to appear on the correct page, at the appropriate time, without any mishaps, unnecessary drama, or hurt feelings. It’s an ABC book, for goodness’ sake. How difficult can it be? Oh, dear. Zebra forgot about Moose.

A hilarious reinvention of the classic alphabet book - not to be missed!
