Abstract Alphabet -- An alphabet is a set of symbols. If the symbols were different from the letters we know would they still spell words? In this unusual ABC book, colorful shapes make up the alphabet and a sturdy fold-out key is included to help readers decipher the word puzzles on each page. One clue: each word is the name of an animal and the twenty-six different letter combinations are in alphabetical order. Do the shapes spell out ape? ant? bull? bear? cat? cod? In a playful homage to modern art, the graphic letter combinations that make up this mesmerizing menagerie will captivate readers and art lovers of all ages.

Paul Cox lives in France. This is his first book for children.
