When night falls, along comes a peculiar thief who steals each letter of the alphabet, creating a topsy-turvy world as she goes.

The alphabet thief stole all of the B's, and all of the bowls became owls...

It seems that no one can stop her, until the Z's finally send her to sleep so that all the other letters can scamper back to where they belong.

Bill Richardson's zany rhymes and Roxanna Bikadoroff's hilarious illustrations will delight young readers with the silly fun they can have with language -- and may even inspire budding young writers and artists to create their own word games.
