About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts questioning 'the way things are' or when they are feeling frustrated by rigid rules at school or home. This story is a perfect match for the budding contrarian who loves to ask 'why' and needs a safe, hilarious outlet for their natural desire to shake up the status quo. While on the surface it is a book about the alphabet, it is truly a comedic debate about tradition versus innovation. When G decides the alphabet song is boring and wants a turn at the front, the letter A experiences a total meltdown, fearing that changing the order will lead to linguistic chaos. Through expressive dialogue bubbles and high-energy illustrations, children see a funny representation of how we handle change and the tension between keeping things the same and trying something new. It is an ideal pick for ages 4 to 8, offering a lighthearted way to discuss flexibility and the idea that some rules are functional while others are just habits.
