Alfie Explores A to Z

Join Alfie the bookworm as he travels through the alphabet from A to Z in this interactive seek-and-find picture book adventure.

Meet Alfie the friendly bookworm and his pet dust bunny, Betty! When Betty runs off, Alfie travels through each letter in the alphabet searching for her—and finds much more along the way.

From An Awesome Assembly of Animals to a Zamboni Ride Through the Zoo, follow Alfie and discover all the wild wonders of the alphabet—like a bobcat barber blindly buzzing a baboon, and a unicorn on a unicycle playing ukulele! What else can you spot?

Part Where's Waldo, part I-Spy, this is an ABCs book unlike any other. Each letter of the alphabet is its own unique destination, with a richly illustrated scene full of creatures, objects, and actions that begin with the corresponding letter, a rhymed poem, and a guide to help young readers decode each scene!

Whether reading alone or with the whole family, Alfie's A to Z delivers endless hours of entertainment, and children will love following along with the adorable characters as they learn the alphabet!
