An alphabet adventure One day i chanced to stop for t and listen to sweet Mellow D, in her old H beside the sea, sing of her long-lost Mister E. She said he''d hid a treasure chest out on an I-land to the west. Just where it''s buried she knew not. But X would surely mark the spot. Come join the letter men of the Alphaboat as they cross the high seas on a treasure-hunting trip! All twenty-six characters are here, from uppercase officers Captain C and Admiral T to lowercase crewmen silent e and sleepy z. Packed with visual and verbal puns, this jaunty picture book salutes nautical yarns of yore as it takes readers where no alphabet book has sailed before. A Junior Library Guild Selection

Píppi é uma menina de nove anos incrivelmente forte. Não tem pai nem mãe e mora sozinha, mas feliz da vida. Seus companheiros são um cavalo e um macaquinho. Ela mesma faz suas roupas - bem esquisitas - e sua comida - biscoitos, panquecas e sanduíches. Destemida e sapeca, lembra a Emília do Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo. Píppi tem sempre uma resposta na ponta da língua, está sempre inventando histórias e demonstra grande confiança em si mesma. Dá uma surra em cinco meninos brigões, engana os policiais que querem levá-la para um lar de crianças, põe dois ladrões a correr e enfrenta um touro a unha. Nada convencional e um tanto anárquica, causa espanto e confusão por onde passa, seja na escola, no circo ou na casa de seus vizinhos. É, enfim, uma menina que realiza sonhos de liberdade e aventura.
