William Steig

"This ode to the alphabet is wickedly funny, smart, and saucy and will have kids saying ABC, again please, you brigand! This wry and winsome picture book is a spicy alphabet soup indeed! With each letter-centric verse introducing you to characters like noisome Naomi (nervy as a newt), King Kang (the killer kangaroo who plays kazoo), and even the lovey-dovey lunatic from Lvov, you'll never get bored learning that "B" is for "Belligerent Bear" instead...

"There's cheeky, cheekier, and cheekiest--here are the two cheekiest of Jeanne and William Steig's poetry collections, together for the first time ever, in Divine Comedies"--Page [2] of cover.
