A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year A Publishers Weekly Best Childrens Book of the Year A Recommended New Book for Missouri Students . A Miami Herald Best Book of the Year . Is there anything Pete wont eat? Poppys charming yellow dog starts off by eating Rockys accordion. All of it. He snacks on a bouncing ball that belongs to Uncle Bennies dog Buster, and then makes a meal out of the rest of the alphabet. From glue sticks to underpants, Pete works his way through all twenty-six letters in Maira Kalmans creative take on traditional alphabet books. Packed with Kalmans trademark bright artwork and a hilarious story filled with wordplay and repetition, this alphabet book is pure fun from A to Z.
