From Diabolical Dart Frogs to Perilous Piranhas, here's a unique, humorous alphabet book featuring a dangerous yet feisty cast of characters that will have readers gleefully giggling their way through the alphabet! An Amazon Best Book of the Month From Diabolical Dart Frogs to Perilous Piranhas, here's a unique, humorous alphabet book featuring a dangerous yet feisty cast of characters that will have readers gleefully giggling their way through the alphabet! Adorable Avocado, our sweet narrator, is rudely interrupted by Angry Alligator who intends to throw the orderly world of the alphabet into sheer chaos. From A to Z, the two competing characters argue over what's better- Elegant Eggplants or Eerie Electric Eels? Kissing Kiwis or Killer King Cobras? With each letter providing a new zany battle between the delightful and the dangerous, and an unexpected twist ending, readers ages 3 to 7 will be on the edges of their seats as they relish this alphabet adventure. In this fresh and funny twist on a classic alphabet book, a hilarious cast of characters with loads of personality takes something expected-the alphabet-and spins it into a wildly unexpected story that readers will reach for over and over.
