David Pelletier takes the basic concept of the alphabet book and takes it to a whole new level of imagination. As seen on the cover, not only does A stand for "avalanch", it becomes the word. This Caldecott Honor book takes young readers beyond the usual clearly defined letters, and really steps into the realm of concept. Great for inspiring young ones to create their own representative alphabet!
