Albert the school
carpenter has been assigned
a task that seems virtually
impossible! He has to build
an alphabet for the walking
path on the school playground.
All twenty-six letters! And
by three o'clock! How is he
ever going to finish on time?

Luckily, Albert is one clever
carpenter. He not only finishes
on time, he builds what could
be the most ingenious alphabet
ever!

of his soup, forming words that
come alive: bear, sword, and
so on. Imaginative and fresh."--Booklist
