《Zebra and Yak: The Backwards Alphabet Book》是一本顛覆傳統的創意字母書,故事不是從 A 開始,而是從 Z 倒著讀回 A。故事一開始,斑馬 Zebra 和犛牛 Yak 發現字母書裡竟然沒有出現大家最熟悉的 Apple,於是他們決定一路往前尋找失蹤的 A。旅程中,他們依序遇見各種代表字母的動物與物品,像是愛搗蛋的 Snake、讓人誤會的 Pumpkin 和 Orange,每一頁都充滿幽默對話與意外插曲。孩子在閱讀中,不只會注意到字母順序的變化,也會發現「規則是可以被重新思考的」。最後,當他們終於找到 A,故事卻再次翻轉,帶來出人意表的結尾。這是一本結合字母學習、故事性與幽默感的圖畫書,特別適合已經認識字母、喜歡挑戰新玩法的孩子閱讀。
A hilarious and unexpected backward alphabet picture book.
Are you ready to start the alphabet? Let's go! Z is for Zebra.
Confused? Zebra didn't expect the alphabet to start with Z, either. Usually it starts with A is for Apple, B is for . . . something, then all the other letters, then Z. But today Apple was nowhere to be found.
Zebra isn't very happy about it. Neither is the second-to-last animal in the alphabet, Yak.
In order to figure out where their friend Apple might be, Zebra and Yak must go on a quest to discover what's gone wrong. But in an alphabet book this weird, who knows what could happen next?
