About this title

About the Author

Mark Shulman has created many wonderful, wacky books for children-and some of them were actually true!

From Booklist

Gr. 1-3. "P is for hip-hop." What starts off as one funny idea--the last, not the first, letter of the word stands for the letter of the alphabet--turns into something much more. A may be for zebra, but on the same page the hilarious, colorful cartoons also show a llama, a cobra, a hyena with a camera, and a panda eating a banana. "Yuck! You stink!" the shark tells the skunk, while a dozen more scenarios play out on the K page. The farce of the pictures will appeal to young children; the puns and the play with words will appeal to older ones (and budding crossword fans), who will like finding all the connections for each letter. A fresh, delightful take on an alphabet book. Hazel Rochman
