Not An Alphabet Book: The Case of the Missing Cake is not an alphabet book. Or is it? An imaginative picture book by Eoin McLaughlin – author of bestselling picture books The Hug and While We Can’t Hug.
Illustrated in gloriously surreal style by Marc Boutavant. (Watch out for the giant creepy eye – it’s unforgettable.)
This funny, subversive book should make both children and adults snigger.
— The Guardian
McLaughlin’s book proclaims itself to be “not an alphabet book”, but it is of course a sneaky, witty way of reinforcing early literacy skills.
