Oliver Jeffers
Once Upon an Alphabet

Description
Only Oliver Jeffers can turn a 26-letter alphabet into a 112-page story book. And only Oliver can make you wish the book was even longer.
From the book: If words make up the stories and letters make up the words, then stories are made up of letters. In this menagerie we have stories made of words, made FOR all the letters.
A is an astronaut who's afraid of heights; B is a bridge between Bernard and Bob that ends up burned; C is a cup stuck in a cupboard and longing for freedom, only to crash on the concrete below. W is for Whiraffe, which has the head of a whisk and the body of a giraffe -- a wonderful friend for whipping cream to enjoy with strawberries. And Z is for zeppelin--on which the astronaut, still afraid of heights, uses to fly one foot off the ground.
ONCE UPON AN ALPHABET is a creative tour du force, 26 story vignettes, some with recurring characters (some with cameos from previous Jeffers books), that bring to life the alphabet in a way that will redefine the genre. Clever, funny, and unique, Oliver Jeffers' most ambitious project to date is also his most ingenious.
About Oliver Jeffers: Oliver Jeffers is an award-winning artist, designer, illustrator and writer from Northern Ireland.
