Experts know that sometimes the best way to teach a child what something is, is to teach them what it isn't. Educator Wendy Ulmer applies that principle in her jaunty, out-of-the-box alphabet A isn't for Fox: An Isn't Alphabet. Running through the alphabet, beginning readers are given a letter and then told what the letter topic isn't. A isn't for box; it isn't for fox. A is for ants that crawl over your socks. Laura Knorr's artwork perfectly captures the wit and whimsy behind the alphabet that isn't what it seems but is so much more!<ref name="publisher" />
