In this outlandish tale, a young boy delights in explaining how his alphabet starts where our alphabet ends. Carrying on beyond Z for Zebra, it begins with the letter Uuzz for Uzzz-a-ma-Tuzz, followed by Wum, Um, Humpf, Fuddle and Glikk. And so it goes on, full of wild imaginings and hilarious absurdities, helping to instill a love of words and spelling into all young children.
Packed with all the essential ingredients that have made Dr Seuss so well-loved over the past 50 years - riotous rhyme, bizarre creatures, zany artwork - this is vintage Seuss at his best.
