Alphabet Street - by Jonathan Emmett (Board Book)

About the Book

Presents a board book in the shape of a storefront that folds out and stands up to resemble a street of shops and restaurants, all of which are named in alphabetical order and hide flaps that reveal alphabetical stories about the twenty-six animals (from alligator to zebra) that live on the street and the alliterative actions they take. The reader is invited to turn the accordion book over and view an elongated park scene.
