Title: Take Aways the A
Authors: Michael Escoffier & Kris Di Giacomo

What this book is about:
In this insanely imaginative book, the author removes a letter from a variety of words to show the power of the alphabet. Plants become Pants, Crab becomes Cab and Witch becomes Itch all to show the importance of each letter.

Why I love this book:
Oh the litany of Alphabet books out there. It just makes it all the more exciting when one comes out that taps into a new element of creativity. This book not only emphasizes the letter taken away, but also shows kids how important the letters are in the words they are using.

I also cannot say enough about the illustrations. They are gorgeous. clever and funny with absolute sublime humor.
Who this book is for:
Wonderful picture book for both younger and older kids. Preschoolers will enjoy learning their letters and older siblings, who are learning to read, will appreciate getting the humor in the letter removal. This is one all your kids can enjoy!
