A puzzle book, an alphabet book, a carefully statge series of
surreal dramatic events, a sequence of imaginative visual images,
this is as intriguing as any of Van Allsburg's books. Whimsical,
sophisticated, this should appeal to a wide audience...
Kirkus Reviews Van Allsburg presents an alphabetical morality play
in 26 acts.....This clever romp resembles old vaudeville theater,
with one curious act followin the next.
