AlphaOops!: The Day Z Went First by
Alethea Kontis
We Love This Book
Its backwards! Its inside out! Its every letter for itself! This laugh-out-loud
romp is not your average alphabet book!
Z is tired of always having to be last when the alphabet family lines up. He
is demanding fair and equal treatment! The letters (more or less) agree to
go backwards, but its not long before P has some ideas of his own. And so
does H, for that matter. In fact, it seems as if almost every letter has a
different opinion about how the alphabet should be arranged. Its chaos! Its
pandemonium! And its definitely not as easy as A-B-C! Filled with visually
humorous details, Bob Kolars colorful illustrations are the perfect foil for
Alethea Kontiss snappy story about the comic confusion that comes when
the letters of the alphabet, like a class of unruly children, step out of order
and show that each one has a mind of its own.
Personal Review: AlphaOops!: The Day Z Went First by Alethea
Kontis
We checked "Alpha Oops!" out at our local library on a whim and my 2
year old daughter loves it! She actually runs around the house reciting
lines from it, like "Fair and Equal Turns for All!" and "U is for Unique!" I had
to read this book to her every night for weeks and even though we've
returned it she's still talking about it. The best part about this book though
for grownups is the adult humor that is interspersed and the smart
illustrations. You've got to love a book about the alphabet in which the

letter Z prevents the letter V from taking a second turn by dragging him
away and the letter G observes "Oooooh...V is for Violence."
