Winner of the English Association 4-11 Picture Book Awards 2016 - Non-Fiction 4-7 category and Longlisted for the UKLA 2017 Book Award What a difference a letter makes! Without the G the glove falls in love; remove the K and the monkey makes money; without the A, the beast is best! It’s such a clever idea, one reading and you’ll be working out more word games to add. Nor is it without adventure: there’s a story behind each illustration. Watch the dog playing cards with the goose (dice becomes ice) and you know he’s up to something; when the crab hails a cab, you can feel the urgency in his claw; how much does the bride really care for her husband left lonely in the carriage of the Ferris wheel as she goes for a ride alone? Witty and sophisticated, this is an alphabet book unlike any other, and one to return to again and again. ~ Andrea Reece
