Plot Synopsis
Taking a journey through tongue twisting antics, children learn the alphabet in a whole new way. There is no typical C is for cat, now the letter C finds clunky Clarissa all clingy and clueless adrift in a landscape cluttered with images ranging from a curiously comfortable clown to Chuck's Chili stand. -
Reviews
- "Alphabet Books are fun, but most are written for younger readers. This one is more on the unique and zany side than most, and its humor is definitely pointed toward an older audience, which creates a weird situation." - Common Sense Review
- "Adults see two well-known artists at work, creating mind-bending tableaux, while children get a taste of original tongue-twisters. This peculiar and funny book resembles a round of the Surrealists' game of exquisite cadaver or Mad Libs, worked out in a dizzying combination of words and pictures." - Publishers Weekly Review
