A mixed up alphabet book with a Halloween theme. My preschooler loved this book. Fun illustrations, crazy costumes and lots of Halloween spirit.

The mixed up alphabet antics continue in this second Alpha Oops book. A isn’t ready to go on, but H has to start a Halloween book anyway. H starts with Halloween, and the other letters join in for a Halloween-themed alphabet that is not in any particular order. As the letters reveal themselves, poor B keeps on trying to get his word in but is upstaged each time. He tries to be a buccaneer, but P is wearing the same costume for pirate. X has trouble finding the perfect word too, but S is there with a great idea. Keep an eye on the bottom of the page as the alphabet fills in with pumpkins bearing the letters that are in alphabetical order. You will just have to wait until the end of the book to find out what B has in store for you!
This book is filled with laughs thanks to the underlying story of the letters putting on a show. The asides from the different letters are very funny, offering a deeper story to this book than just the alphabet and letters. It turns this book into one that children too old for regular alphabet books will really enjoy.
Kolar’s illustrations are filled with great deep colors from an eerie yellowy green to vibrant reds to glowing orange. The book fairly pops with color and action. Make sure to take the time to look at the illustrations because he has filled them with critters, candy and plenty of additional laughs.
A bright, funny alphabet book that is a perfect Halloween treat. No trick. Appropriate for ages 3-6.
