AlphaOops! The Day Z Went First Alethea Kontis Bob Kolar Books

I bought this for a friend's child, growing up in a Spanish-speaking home. Little 4-year old Reyli is so smart, and pretty good already with English, thanks to his attendance at Head Start. I bought him this book, and from it he has learned the alphabet. He had also learned to relate to the letters individually, vs. the "abcdefg" song. This, in turn, is helping him with early reading.

We also have a lot of fun with it, even when the book isn't around. Sometimes when he's here, I ask him out of the blue, "Hey Reyli, can "M" go first today?" "No!" he says. Then we have fun back and forth about it. "OK, how about "C" for the cookie you are eating?" Lots of fun, giggles and play in that.

I guess the best compliment I can pay is that not only does Reyli love the book, but so does his older sister, his mom, and I, and I'm 54! Don't hesitate, grab this one, no matter what your age.

AlphaOops! The Day Z Went First Alethea Kontis Bob Kolar Books Reviews

Before taking my older daughter to preschool, I sat down to read this book with my 5 year old and 2 year old. They loved it so much that they brought it with them in the car, and my preschooler wanted to bring it with her and share it with the class. She insisted that I read it to her several times, and now she's reading it on her own. I'm very happy with this purchase! )
I purchased AlphaOops specifically for my 6-1/2-year-old daughter, whose name begins with a Z. Upon first reading, she thought is was "strange" that Z would want to go first. The next night, she asked for the book again and the second time it was "silly." The third night in a row, she had all kinds of ideas about all the letters, their personalities, their goals, etc. Not only was it fun to read aloud (it reminded me somewhat of Jon Scieszka's style) but it inspired my daughter to think of her own stories for the alphabet.

The art is striking enough to interest very small children and the length is perfect for a bedtime book for kids of any age. We keep this one handy, beside new & old classics by authors ranging from from Dr Seuss to Mo Willems.
I gave this to a 6-year-old who apparently can say the alphabet backwards (I didn't know that when I gave her the book). If that were all it was about, it wouldn't be half as entertaining!

It starts with the premise that Z (is for Zebra) wants to go first in the alphabet because it is tired of being last, and so the alphabet proceeds backwards as far as W (is for Whale). Then everything goes crazy, and all the letters want to get into the act out-of-order. So it gets a little chaotic, but a list of the real alphabet is always at the bottom of the pages to keep it clear.

The illustrations take at least 3 readings of the book to take everything in, they are so clever. And every single stroke in the illustrations makes sense -- and made me chuckle as I read. Some took the second or third reading before I picked up on the meaning, so it is one of those books that parents will enjoy reading aloud as much as their kids ehjoy seeing and hearing it.
My kiddo enjoyed this book. It's silly but with a cause. He really enjoyed the mixed up alphabet.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book to my son! It has a nice element of silly humor. Honestly I have gotten so tired of reading "normal" alphabet books that reuse all the same animals, etc for the different letters. This one is definitely unique and a family favorite.
A funny and delightful book for both children and adults. My 22-month old wanted me to read this book to him several times a day for several weeks straight to the point that he could anticipate some pages. It was fun to read together. )
Both me and my 4 year old son love this book. It is educational and funny. Please check the attached photo of first page.
