For fans of P Is for Pterodactyl, this groundbreaking alphabet picture book from rising star Charlie Mylie is chock-full of letter shape seek-and-finds and other literacy-building twist and turns that will keep readers coming back for more

All aboard the brain train! The conductor has mapped out a smooth route from A to Z, but when the train goes off the tracks, the whole alphabet goes off the rails! What's G doing next to I? Shouldn't Q come before R? Does anyone know how to get out of O?

The train has to fly through the fog at F, slip past sea creatures at S, and hitch a ride with the horned horses at H if they want to make it safely to the memory palace. Written to reinforce readers' literacy building blocks, this totally twisted take on the ABCs is both a joy to read and a tool for new readers.

With seek-and-find elements on every page, kids and caregivers are sure to return to this hilarious alphabet book over and over again.

Author Biography

Charlie Mylie is an author and illustrator living the dream in Kansas City, Kansas. It's only occurring to him now that his interdisciplinary art degree from Kansas City Art Institute might have actually helped in making children's books. His wife and preschooler, however, have had a significant, obvious impact on his work and life, while the cat has contributed nothing. Mylie wants to keep exploring, for as long as he is allowed, how words and pictures together help us making sense of this confounding world.
