Book Review: AlphaOops! The Day Z Went First
My friend Alethea Kontis has written a children’s picture book, AlphaOops! The Day Z Went First. It’s a hilarious story about what happens when the letter Z objects to the fact that he always has to go last in the typical alphabet book. The illustrations by Bob Kolar are delightful. I think this is a picture book that parents will enjoy reading with their children.
I wouldn’t normally cite what an author’s parents said about the author, but here’s what Alethea’s mom and dad had to say about the book (as quoted on the AlphaOops website):

–Alethea’s Mom
