Synopses
In a small, empty, yellow room, the alphabet letters, each in a different typography, display their unique personalities and, after much argument and confusion, realize that the main purpose of their existence is to create words. Includes brief information on the typography and other characteristics of each letter.
Publisher's Notes
The Alphazeds begins with an empty room, which begins filling up with some extraordinary-looking letters. As each letter appears on the scene, it boldly announces its personality: A is angry all the time; B couldn't be more bashful; and K comes in kicking everyone else out of the way. Will the rambunctious letters ever be able to coexist long enough to work together? Charming and utterly original, The Alphazeds cleverly teaches the alphabet and new words to children, while also introducing them to the art of typography in a fresh and enjoyable way.
