Sure, kids find this book funny. But it combines an exposure of the capitalist precarity of labor with anxiety about the arbitrariness of semiotic identities. The solution is solidarity. The revolutionary pages for N, O, P, and Q are the best part of the story.

This book, about a zebra showing the alphabet, is a great way to get young kids engaged and interested about the alphabet. (

Nice. But I happen to know Zelinsky can do better. (

I would say this book is for kindergartners you can get them to engage in learning the alphabet by reading this book to them. The main character is a zebra who has a friend moose who is telling the reader about the alphabet. This book is very humorous and inviting for students to follow along with zebra and moose to see the alphabet. With the alphabet, they represent the letters with different animals Moose is so excited for his letter to come up but instead of him it's a mouse. I would use this book as an introduction to the lesson of learning the alphabet for kindergarteners. (

Book description

A slightly overexcited Moose is eager to play his part in the alphabet and Zebra is just trying to get through everything smoothly! Will Moose find his truthful spot in the alphabet line-up?

In class: a fun and easy way to teach the ABC's with a twist, can your student name what words start with a letter, what actually starts with (insert letter) that Moose messes up in the book, students create their own ABC line-up.
