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\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689317682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.27h x 8.27w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/1994 pg. 123\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/1994 pg. 1266\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/03\/1994 pg. 81\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/1994 pg. 235\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1994 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Judith Viorst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43166054514869,"sku":"9780689317682","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2c32bb73-f4b5-42d0-a94a-1c081f8ffc59.jpg?v=1696919384","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-alphabet-from-z-to-a-with-much-confusion-on-the-way-9780689317682","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
