We have heaps of alphabet books in the library and some of them are quite cool. Margaret Atwood likes alliteration (using words with the same first letters – like Bashful Bob and Doleful Dorinda, for example), and then there’s my personal favourite at the moment, The Dangerous Alphabet by Neil Gaiman (who wrote The Wolves in the Walls). Neil Gaiman really likes spooky things, so his alphabet books is a bit spooky: S is for skull (and spooky!), H is for “help me!”, F is for fear and E is for evil… and the best thing for slightly older readers is the deliberate mistake that’s in the book; see if you can spot it!
