A Is for Salad

A is for what?!? That’s right, A is for salad. And T just happens to be for underwear…At least in the skewed world of author/artist Mike Lester, who, with tongue planted firmly in cheek, offers a unique, upside-down look at the alphabet.So what’s going on here?A is not really for salad, but rather for the great big alligator who is shown nibbling on a nutritious bowl of greens. And T is for underwear, because of the tiger, who, much to his chagrin, is pictured in a pair of polka-dotted undies.With intricate woodcut-like illustrations, this is an irreverent look at the alphabet and the debut picture book of a very exciting new talent.
