A collection of twenty-six nonsense rhymes, one for each letter of the alphabet. A was once an apple pie, PiedyWideyTidyPiedyNice insidey, APPLE PIE! Suse MacDonald adapts Edward Lear's fun-to-say, alphabet rhyme in a picture book that combines the classic with the up-to-date. Bright, bold illustrations are created with hand painted cut paper. A bear sniffs an apple pie, a cat and dog are friends, and eel and fish share an ocean, a goose spills a bottle of ink, while a hen laughs and later a mouse is observed by an owl in a nest! A stunning book!
