Viorst's lively verse irreverently demonstrates that the spellings and sounds of our language are often so maddeningly inconsistent -- \"blue\" and \"blew,\" \"chute\" and \"shoe\" -- that, as her exasperated narrator complains, \"It could drive you berserk.\" Aimed at children who already have some facility with language (and at anyone else who likes to play with words), \u003ci\u003eThe Alphabet from Z to A\u003c\/i\u003e is an entertaining and thought-provoking romp through the quirks and quagmires of the English language. Richard Hull's exquisite drawings enrich the text and offer a playful challenge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Viorst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 068981545X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689815454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aladdin Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.99h x 7.99w x 0.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/08\/1997","brand":"Judith Viorst","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48807834845439,"sku":"9780689815454","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-alphabet-from-z-to-judith-viorst-9780689815454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
