Z Is for Moose - Hardcover

by Kelly Bingham (Author), Paul O. Zelinsky (Illustrator)

An unjacketed, lower-priced edition of the acclaimed picture book. Caldecott Medalist Paul O. Zelinsky illustrates an outrageously silly story about the joys (and challenges) of friendship. Zebra wants to put on a show as simple as A-B-C, but Zebra's friend Moose has other (unexpected and hilarious) ideas!

"Everybody will be elated with this goofy new way of going from A to Z." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)

Zebra thinks the alphabet should be simple. A is for Apple. B is for Ball. Easy! But his friend Moose is too excited to wait his turn, and when M isn't for Moose (Mouse gets the honor), the rest of the letters better run for cover. Exuberant and zany storytelling brings to life two friends and one laugh-out-loud comedy of errors that's about friendship, sharing, and compromise.

The incomparable Paul O. Zelinsky's artwork is bursting at the seams--literally--with preschool appeal. Breaking the borders of the page and creating the art both digitally and traditionally, Zelinsky turns convention on its head. The result is a picture book that is innovative, hilarious, and begging to be read over and over again.
