Kindergarten-Grade 2-A wacky alphabet book with the best line on the cover. The clever title describes a wonderfully crazy world in which zucchini crop up everywhere. Readers see airplanes, cars, fences, gumballs, jewelry, and even road signs made from the ubiquitous green vegetable. From "apple antics" to "octopus overalls" and "ice cream island" to "sailor salad," children are treated to a humorous word game that doesn't go anywhere. There is no plot, no point. The text is merely a description of the illustrations. This is not a beginner's alphabet book, as there are no examples of uppercase and lowercase letters, and there isn't enough here for older readers. The colorful, vibrant acrylic paintings are crisp and lively. Reminiscent of Mark Teague's style, these are funny, clever, artsy pictures that make adults chuckle but won't do much for children. Librarians can skip this unless there is a demand for off-the-wall alphabet books.Beth Tegart, Oneida City Schools, NY

    A rocky start after I had to NUDGE the Seller into checking on my order after MORE than a week with NOTHING happening... But Seller communication was GOOD and the item showed up, well packaged, within the delivery window. Item was well priced, and they had a series that I STRUGGLED to find elsewhere, in NEW condition. I would recommend this seller if you can't find it elsewhere, that's the best I can give them.

    5 stars Great seller—made it right when USPS didn’t. The item was marked as delivered on May 27th to a “reception area,” even though I live in a single-family home. Clearly a USPS error. I reached out to the seller, who responded quickly and assured me the book was on the way. It finally arrived safely on June 7th. Not the seller’s fault, and I appreciate their professionalism and communication throughout. Would buy from them again.
