Zebra & Yak Backwards Alphabet

Paul Friedrich, illustrated by Paul Friedrich

The alphabet begins unexpectedly with Z for Zebra, rather than its usual starting point. Zebra is confused and displeased, as is Yak, who comes near the end of the normal alphabet order. Their friend Apple is missing, so the pair set out to find what has gone wrong. Their search becomes a quest through an alphabet book where the expected sequence has been turned around.
