2024 the best thief in the world review
Price: $16.95 - $15.45
(as of Dec 23, 2024 18:31:24 UTC - Details)
When night falls, along comes a peculiar thief who steals each letter of the alphabet, creating a topsy-turvy world as she goes.
The alphabet thief stole all of the B’s, and all of the bowls became owls…
It seems that no one can stop her, until the Z’s finally send her to sleep so that all the other letters can scamper back to where they belong.
Bill Richardson’s zany rhymes and Roxanna Bikadoroff’s hilarious illustrations will delight young readers with the silly fun they can have with language ― and may even inspire budding young writers and artists to create their own word games.

Title: Good price, great condition
Review: The book was exactly what I wanted. It is a very sturdy edition, which should last a long time. It was a good price, came in a reasonable amount of time, and my young granddaughter really enjoys learning what a word can become when you take away just one letter. Very happy with this purchase.

Title: My granddaughter just got this book and absolutely loves it ...
Review: My granddaughter just got this book and absolutely loves it. She took it to school yesterday and her teacher read it to the class. Today she is taking it with her to a sleepover with her cousin! I bought this after reading a review in WSJ by their children's book reviewer. She is always spot on.

Title: Fun book for intermediate readers
Review: A fun book for the intermediate reader.The change in the words as a letter is stolen is very creative, but often the chnage is too advanced for the beginning reader.Perhaps best for ages 6 and up, including adults.

Review: Real fun with words for kids and adults. Read the book with a little ELL girl who's 8 and she loved it. All sorts of word games can happen after the child reads what happens so as well as the initial enjoyment, there's awareness and interest in language. Couldn't recommend it higher!
