A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year
Kalman unleashes her extravagant whimsy in this loquacious alphabet book. (Publishers Weekly, starred review)A Publishers Weekly Best Children's Book of the Year A Recommended New Book for Missouri Students A Miami Herald Best Book of the Year Is there anything Pete won't eat? Poppy's charming yellow dog starts off by eating Rocky's accordion. All of it. He snacks on a bouncing ball that belongs to Uncle Bennie's dog Buster, and then makes a meal out of the rest of the alphabet. From glue sticks to underpants, Pete works his way through all twenty-six letters in Maira Kalman's creative take on traditional alphabet books. Packed with Kalman's trademark bright artwork and a hilarious story filled with wordplay and repetition, this alphabet book is pure fun from A to Z. Richly witty in both the text and the illustrations. (The New York Times Book Review) |
