A colorful, kooky Kalman take on the alphabet, What Pete Ate from A to Z is a story both adults and the sophisticated small set will appreciate.
Along with authoring and illustrating children's books and designing quirky umbrellas and watches, Maira Kalman is renowned for her NY Times blog and illustrations in The Elements of Style. Matisse-like renderings and inimitable wordplay are combined for a truly fun tale following a dog with an appetite that strays far from the norm. Both young and old will enjoy the DaDa-like delivery and her exuberant expressionist style of painting.
Seuss's Uncle Ubb, with his umbrella, would surely get a kick out of this story, though he better beware: unconventional eater Pete has an appetite for underwear.
