The ABCs have never had it so good. Created by two of today’s wittiest, most imaginative minds, The Alphabet from A to Y with Bonus Letter Z! is a sheer delight from A to Z. In twenty-six alliterative couplets, Steve Martin conjures up much more than mere apples and zebras. Instead we meet Horace the hare, whose hairdo hides hunchbacks, and Ollie the owl, who owed Owen an oboe. Roz Chast contributes the perfect visual settings for Martin’s zany two-liners. Her instantly recognizable drawings are packed with humorous touches both broad and subtle.

Each rereading—and there will be many—delivers new delights and discoveries. There, hidden behind Bad Baby Bubbleducks, is a framed picture of a beatnik holding balloons; and the letter C finds clunky Clarissa all clingy and clueless adrift in a landscape cluttered with images ranging from a curiously comfortable clown to Chuck’s Chili stand. A smart, laugh-inducing introduction to the alphabet for young children, The Alphabet from A to Y with Bonus Letter Z! will also enchant adults with its matchless mix of the sophisticated and the silly.

Together these drawings, which originally appeared in the New Yorker, Scientific American, Redbook, and other publications, constitute a spot-on record of our increasingly absurd existence. As the twenty-first century begins, we can only be grateful that Roz Chast is here to tackle some of the tough themes of the times: genetically altered mice, birthday parties from hell, and comfort drinks in the age of insecurity.

She does so with the kind of open-eyed reality that makes this book of cartoons read like a how-to manual, or at the very least, a view of what new parents can expect. Chast's sense of humor is apparent in her popular cartoon, "Bad Mom Cards": a series of mug shots of moms gone wrong, like the mom who "ran out of orange juice and served kids orange soda instead." The book's nice design and handsome size make for a great gift.]]> 56952 4.19 352 77 1997 1696857 006015795X 9780060157951 0 <![CDATA[Mondo Boxo: Cartoon Stories]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1253336223m/1696857.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1253336223s/1696857.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1696857.Mondo_Boxo_Cartoon_Stories 4.00 5 56952 4.19 352 77 1987 5931064 1599901811 9781599901817 5 <![CDATA[Dot in Larryland: The Big Little Book of an Odd-Sized Friendship]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/59/64/5931064-m-1256102677.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/59/64/5931064-s-1256102677.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5931064.Dot_in_Larryland_The_Big_Little_Book_of_an_Odd_Sized_Friendship 3.09 11 He may be huge and she may be tiny, but Dot and Larry are destined to become best friends. Dot, a teeny tiny little gal who’s no bigger than a dust mite, is very lonely and would love to find a friend. Larry, a guy who’s so big his head is always in the clouds, doesn’t think anyone understands him. But a chance meeting at a diner (just after Larry’s fifteenth burger) leads Dot right to the most humongous man in the world, and they discover that their differences actually make them pretty similar. Featuring Roz Chast’s distinctive and hilarious illustrations, Dot in Larryland will have readers looking very high (and very low) for their next best friend.</DIV>]]> 22152 2.95 718 241 56952 4.19 352 77 2008 201833 076111310X 9780761113102 0 <![CDATA[The Joy of Being 50 Plus]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172639158m/201833.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172639158s/201833.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/201833.The_Joy_of_Being_50_Plus 5.00 1
In a new collaboration after The Joy of Being Single (138,000 copies in print), Ms. Zobel and New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast take on another seemingly sore subject - being 50 in society that worships youth - and find excellent reasons to celebrate. Such as:

-You can get a tattoo and chalk it up to hormone imbalance.
-You can brag to your friends if a construction worker whistles at you.
-You can have complaining contests about your bunions.
-You look divine in hats and sunglasses.
-You're old enough to be a grouch.
-You can speak from experience.
-You now know the things you wish you'd known back when, and still have time to do something about it.
And while neither Ms. Zobel nor Ms. Chast is anywhere near the magic five-oh (it's the fluorescent lighting), they speak with authority as they advise all 50-year -olds to blow their own horn (if they have enough wind) and beat their own drum (arthritis permitting).]]> 117705 4.17 6 3 56952 4.19 352 77 1999 933149 0892073187 9780892073184 0 <![CDATA[The New Yorker Visits the Guggenheim]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179580543m/933149.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179580543s/933149.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/933149.The_New_Yorker_Visits_the_Guggenheim 5.00 1 52274 4.44 306 36 5117 4.42 27058 2025 56952 4.19 352 77 2005 7172047 1416984747 9781416984740 0 <![CDATA[Too Busy Marco]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7172047-too-busy-marco 0.0 0 56952 4.19 352 77 2010 3158663 0975573837 9780975573839 0 <![CDATA[The I.M.s of Romeo and Juliet: 2006 Wall Calendar]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3158663.The_I_M_s_of_Romeo_and_Juliet_2006_Wall_Calendar 0.0 0 56952 4.19 352 77 2005 299423 1576600971 9781576600979 0 <![CDATA[The New Yorker Book of Kids Cartoons]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173509211m/299423.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173509211s/299423.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/299423.The_New_Yorker_Book_of_Kids_Cartoons 0.0 0 Robert Mankoff has culled the best of the hundreds and hundreds of cartoons on kids from the 65,000+ cartoons in The New Yorker's archives. And, as always, he brings us wonderful cartoons and surprises from both famous cartoonists and relative unknowns. As a special bonus, the inimitable Roz Chast introduces this collection.
