A Is for Alliguitar: Musical Alphabeasts - Tapa dura

This fun alphabet book introduces children to the lively world of alphabeasts-an orchestra of fantastical musical creatures, created by wacky combinations of animals and instruments.
The safari begins with "A is for alliguitar, who has his own picks" and continues to "Z is for zebrass, getting their kicks."
Full of zany illustrations, A Is for Alliguitar: Musical Alphabeasts features the alphabeasts romping and riffing through a swamp, a luau, a circus, a church-and other fanciful scenarios-as they make their way to the concert stage.
Children will enjoy matching the musical instruments with the animals and singing along to the simple and playful rhymes.
