Alphaboat

An alphabet adventure

One day i chanced to stop for t

and listen to sweet Mellow D,

in her old H beside the sea,

sing of her long-lost Mister E.

She said he'd hid a treasure chest

out on an I-land to the west.

Just where it's buried she knew not.

But X would surely mark the spot.

Come join the letter men of the Alphaboat as they cross the high seas on a treasure-hunting trip! All twenty-six characters are here, from uppercase officers Captain C and Admiral T to lowercase crewmen silent e and sleepy z.

Packed with visual and verbal puns, this jaunty picture book salutes nautical yarns of yore as it takes readers where no alphabet book has sailed before.
