AlphaOops!: The Day Z Went First

I bought this for my daughter's 3rd birthday and she loves it! She loves the character's (the alphabet) personality and loves the colors and craziness. Her favorite "character" is V during his attempt to go twice, because even though it's never said, she knows that V is for vampire. She asks for it every night and is beginning to recognize the letters on sight.

My.nieces, as well as myself love this.book.

Oh my goodness, this is such a cute book!! I loved it!

I work with preschoolers and they love it! It’s so fun and creative!

What this is: a fun ABC book that has some of the traditional alphabet words for each letter.What this isn’t: a boring in-order ABC book with crummy pictures and a pit-you-to sleep rhythm.This book is lots of fun. There are silly pictures that are fun to peruse with preschoolers. There’s some alliteration. There’s an angry letter Z and a creative letter V. It has pizazz and personality.Also, it’s longer than a typical kids book. So when your kid wants to read it fortyleven times a day it gets annoying.

I gave this to a 6-year-old who apparently can say the alphabet backwards (I didn't know that when I gave her the book). If that were all it was about, it wouldn't be half as entertaining!It starts with the premise that Z (is for Zebra) wants to go first in the alphabet because it is tired of being last, and so the alphabet proceeds backwards as far as W (is for Whale). Then everything goes crazy, and all the letters want to get into the act out-of-order. So it gets a little chaotic, but a list of the real alphabet is always at the bottom of the pages to keep it clear.The illustrations take at least 3 readings of the book to take everything in, they are so clever. And every single stroke in the illustrations makes sense -- and made me chuckle as I read. Some took the second or third reading before I picked up on the meaning, so it is one of those books that parents will enjoy reading aloud as much as their kids ehjoy seeing and hearing it.

I loved this book, it's so cute. I bought it for a preschooler. She loves it and requests it for story time. The book personifys each letter and gives them different personalities. This book reinforces knowledge of each letter, independent from knowing it from the abc song. It uses aliteration. The pictures have beautiful colors. I would definitely recommend it!

THE CUTEST BOOK!!! I recommend to everyone!

My Grade 2/3 class loved this book. They had not thought about the order of the letters in the alphabet and changing them around. Good discussion afterward.

Apesar do preço salgado vale muito a pena.O livro é uma gracinha. Muito bem ilustrado. Super colorido. Minha filha que está sendo alfabetizada também na língua inglesa ficou encantada e pede para eu ler toda hora.

Nice and funky.

Great product. Fast service.

Bought this book to read to my students for backwards day and they loved it!
