Take Away the A

Author: Michael Escoffier
Illustrator: Kris Di Giacomo
Publisher: Andersen Press

What happens when you take the ‘k’ away from monkey? It makes money! What happens if you take the ‘w’ away from the witch? She has an itch! This is an inventive and sophisticated alphabet book which makes you think in new ways about words and how they are spelled. Recurring characters appearing in the illustrations are integral to the humour. Knowledge of nursery rhymes and fairy tales enhances the enjoyment of the pictures. ‘Without the V Seven are Seen’ is illustrated by seven small figures with pickaxes resting on their shoulders who are being observed by a toothsome wolf.
