About this book
Are you ready to learn your ABC? A is for apple. B is for ball. C is for castle. But oh no - instead of a dog for D, we have a wolf! Now D is for Danger! And that's just the start of it. Can you escape the wolf in this comic caper as you try to get through the entire alphabet?
Brilliantly illustrated in vibrant colours, this breaks the fourth wall, as the reader is invited to take part in this alphabet adventure. It will encourage the child reader to join in and to enjoy the delicious delight of a story going off-piste.
Hugely inventive and funny. Take an alphabet book, overturn all assumptions, add in a trip to France, and you have this book, which will make both children and adults laugh and laugh.
