From "Amanda Pig admired an A" to "Zeke Pig zzz's on a Z," this book helps prereaders to learn the alphabet and to start recognizing expressive, dynamic verbs like "imitate," "nibble," "observe," "serenade," and "unveil." The Caldecott Medal-winning author of On Market Street and Taking Care of Mama Rabbit (as well as the wife and collaborator of Arnold Lobel), Anita Lobel uses gouache and watercolor to render these 26 charismatic pigs, variously dressed like farmers, sailors, or minstrels as they caper in a sunny landscape and encounter oversized alphabet letters, inspiring their imaginative play.
