Z Is for Moose / Kelly Bingham (Author), Paul O. Zelinsky (Illustrator)
Greenwillow
2012
Zebra thinks the alphabet should be simple. A is for Apple. B is for Ball. Easy! But his friend Moose is too excited to wait his turn, and when M isn't for Moose (Mouse gets the honor), the rest of the letters better run for cover. - From Amazon.
ABC concept book
THIS IS ZELINSKY? I would never had recognized his work outside of the formal renaissance paintings in Rapunzel and the Hansel and Gretel adaptation he did. It was such as stark difference in mood and tone! I liked that this concept book was framed as a casting call or a production with the Zebra stage managing every thing. The Moose popping up in every page reminded me very much of Willem's Pigeon :D
