For fans of P is for Pterodactyl comes this groundbreaking spin on the ABCs that invites readers to look at the alphabet in a whole new way.

An A is an H that just won't stand up right... A B is a D with its belt on too tight... And a Z is an L in a tug-of-war fight! Twenty-six letters, unique from each other--and yet, every letter looks just like one another! Kind of like...one big family.

From two bestselling masters of wordplay and visual high jinks comes a mind-bending riddle of delightful dopplegangers and surprising disguises that reveal we're more alike than we may think.
