Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Richard Wilbur turns his sharp eye to the noble alphabet and imagines what life would be like without these twenty-six little--but powerful--letters. Packed with humor and subtle wit, the verse in this captivating picture book is splendidly matched by Caldecott Medal winner David Diaz8217;s hilariously clever illustrations.
This ingenious children's book takes each letter of the alphabet in turn, and examines the consequences if it were missing from the language.
