| Steve Martin's Alphabet Book |

 If the art of alliteration amazes and astonishes your appreciation for articulation, you will get a kick out of Steve Martin’s new alphabet book.
When I heard Steve Martin read from The Alphabet From A to Y, With Bonus Letter Z, his new children’s book, on NPR, letters were lunging, laughing, and leaping in my ears. His alliteration, humor, and creativity are delightful.
Here is a sample for letter “H.” “Henrietta the hare wore a habit in Heaven. / Her hairdo hid hunchbacks; one hundred and seven.” (Martin was really hopping high on that one!)
Here is another for “N.” “Needle-nosed Nigel won nine kinds of knockwurst / By winning a contest to see who could knock wurst.” (Knock, knock! Don’t answer, that’s Nigel’s lousy knock! He’ll knock anything, even wurst!)
But even Nigel can’t knock Steve’s new book. His humor even works when it is clean and wholesome!
