Items related to A Is for Zebra
Mark Shulman and Tamara Petrosino return with a fabulous follow-up to last season’s AA is for Aardvark. And it’s got a clever new twist.
The alphabetic antics continue—starting from the end! That’s why A is for zebrA and Z is for jazZ, and nothing’s what you’d expect. The featured letter doesn’t appear just once—it’s sprinkled throughout the hilarious illustrations. The I page not only has sushI, there’s delI, spaghettI, graffitI, and khakI, too. And if you think working backwards makes it easier, well, just try to come up with words that end in Q or J! The results can be quite surprising!
Teachers, librarians, parents, and kids will love the silly—but smart—acrobatics involved in unearthing all these words, along with the witty way the book reinforces the sounds of letters and teaches kids how much fun playing with language can be.

About the Author:
Mark Shulman has created many wonderful, wacky books for children-and some of them were actually true!
From Booklist:
Gr. 1-3. "P is for hip-hop." What starts off as one funny idea--the last, not the first, letter of the word stands for the letter of the alphabet--turns into something much more. A may be for zebra, but on the same page the hilarious, colorful cartoons also show a llama, a cobra, a hyena with a camera, and a panda eating a banana. "Yuck! You stink!" the shark tells the skunk, while a dozen more scenarios play out on the K page. The farce of the pictures will appeal to young children; the puns and the play with words will appeal to older ones (and budding crossword fans), who will like finding all the connections for each letter. A fresh, delightful take on an alphabet book. Hazel Rochman
