A collection of whimsical verses explores the confusing and frustrating inconsistencies of the English language, in a wry study that turns the alphabet upside down as "N" stands for nit, night, and not, but not for knot, knight, or knit.

L'autore:
Judith Viorst says that she has been writing always -- "or at least since I was seven or eight when I composed an ode to my dead parents, both of whom were alive and well and, when they read my poem, extremely annoyed." She has written my poem, extremely annoyed." She has written many books for children, including Earrings! (Atheneum, 1990), as well as several books of poetry and prose for adults. She is also a contributing editor to Redbook magazine. Mrs. Viorst lives in Washington, D.C., with her husband, Milton, a political writer. They have three sons -- Anthony, Nicholas, and Alexander.
Product Description:
In "The Alphabet from Z to A", Judith Viorst once again applies her clear-sighted wit to a subject of universal appeal, turning the traditional alphabet book on its head by going through the alphabet backwards. Viorst's lively verse irreverently demonstrates that the spelling and sounds of our language are often so maddeningly inconsistent-- "blue" and "blew", "chute" and "shoe"-- that, as her exasperated narrator complains, "It could drive you berserk". Aimed at children who already have some facility with language (and at anyone else who likes to play with words), "The Alphabet form Z to A" is an entertaining and throught-provoking romp through the quirks and quagmires of the English language. Richard Hull's exquisite drawings enrich the text and offers a playful challenge.
