Funny！

What a playful piece of work A lot of fun。 Whilst most of these alphabetic stories do stand-alone， they tie together with a little humour， silliness or the whimsical。 A few of the stories do intersect， further pulling the collection together with unity of idea。 I’ve used this book as a fun way of introduce the teaching orientation complication and resolution， as our departure point playing with the stories， and is the stimulus for improvisation in the classroom。

I love this book。 Simple stories that bring out a whole host of emotions。 They lightly intertwine so it can be read all in one go or separately。 Just another brilliant book by Jeffers。

Quirky and surreal and very funny。

This book provides a short story for every letter of the alphabet。 The stories are quite whimsical and not the usual ‘A is for apple， B is for banana’ that I have come to expect from alphabet books。 The illustrations are fantastic and are really integral fully understanding the stories。

Jeffers nesklamal。 Sialene， kuriozne a zabavne basnicky na kazde pismeno。 Aj s par prepojeniami navzajom。 V ramci moznosti som to deckam poprekladala a pobavili sa aj ony。 Ak to niekto bude prekladat do slovenciny， bude to vyzva。

Although I enjoyed the premise of short stories to tell a story of each letter， and I love so much of Oliver Jeffers work！， this book just didn’t really work for me， so it’s not one I will spend time booktalking。

A bit too random for my liking

Wow， this s*** is dark。 Oliver， you 。。。 damn。。 The H completely killed me。 Pun intended。 Go and read it， it’s amazing

This book has a very short （just a few lines） story for each letter of the alphabet。 Many of them intertwine， such as the Cup， the Astronaut， and the Owl and the Octopus。 All round， a fun book！Published as Once Upon an Alphabet and in shortened form as An Alphabet of Stories。
