Maira Kalman
In a wonderfully irreverent take on the alphabet, Kalman tells of a dog, Pete, and what he has eaten—from “S” and Milton’s stinky shoes to the list from Rocky’s wallet for “W.” As for the accordion (for “A’ naturally), one can imagine the shocking result! Her engaging colorfilled illustrations and hand-drawn text bring readers along as they follow Pete’s culinary adventures.
