OverviewThis book is an imaginative and hilarious look at the letters we love. Michael Rosen, a famous poet, turns his famous wit on the alphabet, playing with letters and words in a brilliantly fresh and funny way. Award-winning artist, Herve Tullet brings the poem to life with his beautiful, painterly (and crazy!) illustrations. A perfect partnership of poetry and pictures, Alphabet Poem will delight children and adults alike. Milet is proud to announce that Alphabet Poem has received two outstanding honours: The Wow! Award 2005 and The White Ravens 2005. Awarded by the National Literacy Association UK, the Wow! awards are given to books that are 'stimulating, enjoyable and rich in potential for literacy teaching and learning'. The panel selected Alphabet Poem from thousands of entries: 'The Panel loved its bright originality and determined creation of a parallel universe where anything is made possible, simply by putting words together. What better way to feed the imaginations and creativity of young (and old) than by suggesting that we can use language in ways we haven't heard or seen before!'
