Help ZigZag the alligator get his vowels back in this playful picture book from beloved author-illustrator Julie Paschkis! ZigZag is a lover of words and enjoys tasting them, playing with them, and enjoying them. However, one day, while exploring and enjoying the word tambourine, he gulps down all his vowels. Without A, E, I, O, and U, ZigZag's life is turned upside down: no more lovely tambourines, only tasteless and dull tmbrns; no more tart green apples, only disappointing ppls. Poor ZigZag can't even get any sleep in his comfy, cozy bed, which is now a too short bd. But vowels are all around ZigZag, from his grandmother's satisfied Aaahs to his best friend Beanie's amazed Ooohs. Can you help ZigZag find his vowels again?

This is a wonderful romp through language that reminds readers to taste their words, even at the risk of swallowing them—for how else to know if they are sweet or bitter; salty, crunchy, or smooth? It is also a companion volume, with a twist, to Paschkis's The Wordy Book. ZigZag is a lover of words and enjoys tasting them, playing with them, and enjoying them. However, one day, while exploring and enjoying the word tambourine, he gulps down all his vowels. Without A, E, I, O, and U, ZigZag's life is turned upside down: no more lovely tambourines, only tasteless and dull tmbrns; no more tart green apples, only disappointing ppls. Poor ZigZag can't even get any sleep in his comfy, cozy bed, which is now a too short bd.
