Summary: This alphabet book shows the letters trying to put on a play and being undone one at a time.

Response: The drawings are beautiful and funny and clever, and the high vocabulary would appeal to older readers. This would be good for older readers who read at a lower level, and the whole class could benefit from the vocabulary and from creating their own version.
