Z Was Zapped
Z Was Zapped | Chris Van Allsburg
3 posts | 7 read
A dramatic black- and- white presentation of the alphabet in which the three-time Caldecott medalist depicts a mysterious transformation of each letter. "Whimsical, sophisticated, this should appeal to a wide audience, from those amused by mayhem in an unusual context to the many fans of this uniquely creative artist." -- Kirkus Reviews, pointer

I had to stop reading this to my daughter halfway. This is way too dark for a child that is at the age of learning the alphabet. One picture showed a large knife above the letter. “The A was in an avalanche.
The B was badly bitten.
The C was cut to ribbons....
The Z was zapped”

Reviewsbylola Oh geez! My 5 yo would probably love this. She has a darker side. 😬😬 7y
Chellebearss @Reviewsbylola it would probably be appropriate for a child that age. It‘s a little dark for my 3 year old though 7y
Reviewsbylola Yeah it definitely sounds way darker than most kid‘s books I‘ve ever come across!! 7y
Bookwomble It sounds similar in idea to Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies. https://www.brainpickings.org/2011/01/19/edward-gorey-the-gashlycrumb-tinies/

Grabbing XYZ books from my kid/picture book shelves may be cheating, but I love Van Allsburg's always interesting illustrations - so this adult still has him in the house 😁
