Description

A variety of animals parade by in this familiar jumprope alphabet song.

The antics never quite quit as a parade of animals sell their wares in this wildly illustrated version of the familiar alphabet ditty and ball-bouncing game. Young readers will delight in meeting such characters as Barbara, the bear with balloons for sale in Brazil; New York Ned, the newt who owns a noodle emporium, and finally the zipper-selling Zambian zebra and zebu, Zelda and Zach.

Reviews

"Silly husband-and-wife teams and their parade of possessions star in a rollicking alphabet book."--Publishers Weekly
