This book proposal features an illustrated 7-word tautogram for every letter of the alphabet: on each page, each of the 7 words begins with the same letter! No exceptions.

By turning a wheel, you reveal the 7 words, one word at a time, while also animating the illustration.

Click on the letters to flip through the pages.

"Wow!... A lovely and very smart idea for a book ... takes fullest advantage of the medium of books while indirectly teaching kids the structures and slippery excitement of language via the delights of visual and hands-on discovery. A+!!"

- Chris Ware, award-winning author-illustrator (Jimmy Corrigan)

"Clever, educational, fun, funny, interactive, and perfect for young children"

- Laura Vaccaro Seeger, award-winning author-illustrator (The Hidden Alphabet)

"The economy of the 7-word alliterative stories coupled with the clever disc animations is a positively wonderful combination (and X is so rad!)"

- Raj Haldar, best-selling co-author (P is for Pterodactyl - The Worst Alphabet Book Ever)
