OUR STORE IS CLOSED ON ANZAC DAY: THURSDAY 25 APRIL
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- This is the paperback adaption of Once Upon an Alphabet, where each letter is a micro story, but the whole add up to make a larger tale. A delightful way of learning the alphabet, seeing the letters in use, and reinforcing them. Of course, Jeffers' typically whimsical illustrations with characters who pop up in other pages and contribute to the storytelling, enhance the wordplay and joyous energy of the text. The keen fan will notice that characters from other books by Jeffers make guest appearances as well! Lindy Jones
