Why would you want to read An annoying ABC? Because after Adelaide annoyed Bailey, and Bailey blamed Clyde, and Clyde cried, and Dexter drooled on Eloise, and Eloise elbowed Flora ... well, something remarkable happened to everyone in Miss Mabel's alphabetically initialed class. Adelaide apologized. Michael Emberley's colorful sketches are full of action and expression, in this book for readers up to 6, the follow-up to his previous collaboration with Barbara Bottner, Miss Brooks Loves Books! (and I don't).
