An interesting twist on the alphabet. It was funny how the letters competing with each other.

I found this hysterical, though I think it was a little too advanced for my preschooler. When Z decides he is tired of being last and jumps to the beginning of the alphabet, chaos breaks loose and letters end up all over the place. While my 3yo got confused by the letters being out of order, we did identfy the letters on each page and the images that corresponded with that letter.

AlphaOops!: The Day Z Went First is a cute story of how Z didn't feel like being at the end of the alphabet so all the letters go in a different order. The letters end up getting mixed up and then jealous when other letters try to pick more than one thing to go with their letter. In the end, A tells Z to just ask next time. This book is perfect for K-2 as it shows the alphabet and teaches kids about the order of the alphabet. This book also has phenomenal pictures and would be great for teaching kids about different words that start with different letters. I would most definitely use this in my classroom. Although, nowhere in the book does it show the correct order of the alphabet which could be problematic for younger readers.
