Produktbeschreibung
This is a book of gramograms, little word puzzles where letters, numbers, and everyday symbols are spoken out loud to form words and sentences. Gramograms have been around for ages, but the first person to pair them with drawings was probably New Yorker cartoonist William Steig, in his classic 1968 book, CDB! (See the Bee!).These days, with the ubiquitousness of shorthand texting and the familiar "at" symbol in email addresses, we all have a bit more gramogram experience, whether we realize it or not. AB@C is filled with all-new gramograms--new words, new settings, and a few new symbols--and each one is illustrated with a New Yorker-style cartoon that gives comedic context for the caption. (For instance, the book's cover art, a drawing of a bumblebee on a boat in the ocean, helps reveal the translation of AB@C: "A bee at sea.")
