Zebra and Yak: The Backwards Alphabet Book

By Paul Friedrich

Book Overview

A hilarious and unexpected backward alphabet picture book.

Are you ready to start the alphabet? Let's go Z is for Zebra.

Confused? Zebra didn't expect the alphabet to start with Z, either. Usually it starts with A is for Apple, B is for . . . something, then all the other letters, then Z. But today Apple was nowhere to be found.

Zebra isn't very happy about it. Neither is the second-to-last animal in the alphabet, Yak.

In order to figure out where their friend Apple might be, Zebra and Yak must go on a quest to discover what's gone wrong. But in an alphabet book this weird, who knows what could happen next?

Take care to choose easy to do voices when you read this to your kids

Take care to choose easy to do voices when you read this to your kids. And that you can make them sound happy or angry because a couple characters switch rapidly. The story itself is great, very humorous. I especially enjoyed the allusion to Schrodinger in the 2nd half of the story.
