Another celebrity children’s book—Steve Martin
By M&C News Oct 24, 2007, 10:41 GMT
Steve Martin has written a children’s book. The book, called The Alphabet From A to Y, With Bonus Letter Z has illustrations as well by Roz Chast.
The AP article states that the book will be published by Flying Dolphin Press, with a first print run of 150,000.
In the article, Martin also notes that he grew up reading Ogden Nash. On Amazon, the book description includes, “Each rereading—and there will be manydelivers 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.”
