Illustrations and easy-to-read text reveal that while letters of the alphabet resemble each other, each is also unique, as if they, like human beings, are part of the same family.

This bestselling, highly acclaimed collection of laugh-out-loud poems is a must-have addition to every child's--and immature grown-up's--bookshelf, now with a bright new jacket design! "Smart and sweet, wild and wicked, brilliantly funny--it's everything a book for kids should be," declared B.J. Novak, author of the blockbuster The Book With No Pictures. Recipient of nearly a dozen "best books of the year" citations and lauded by critics and fans as a worthy heir to such greats as Silverstein, Scieszka, Seuss, Nash, and Lear, Chris Harris's debut children's work molds wit and wordplay, nonsense and oxymoron, and visual and verbal sleight-of-hand in masterful ways that make you look at the world in a whole new wonderfully upside-down way. This groundbreaking collection offers a surprise around every corner and is chock-full of hidden jokes. Adding to the fun is nearly one hundred pieces of absurdly clever art by legendary illustrator Lane Smith.

"Readers are challenged not to laugh in a series of increasingly hilarious prompts and jokes that lead to a serious message about the pleasures of laughter"--
