The Z Was Zapped by Chris Van Allsburg

Date of Review:  Feb 18, 2009
The Bottom Line: One of the very best alphabet books I've ever encountered, and I used to be the story lady.
Review: The Z was Zapped" is a lovely, odd and thoroughly delightful book by Chris Van Allsburg. Van Allsburg is better known for books such as Jumanji, The Garden of Abdul Gasazi, and The Wreck of the Zephyr. In The Z was Zapped, Van Allsburg combines the...
