Dr. Seuss's ABC

Every letter gets its own rhyme and picture in this 1963 Beginner Book, which pairs each capital and small letter with a line of alliterative nonsense, starting with Aunt Annie's alligator and ending with the Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz, a creature Dr. Seuss invented for Z. Lines such as "Four fluffy feathers on a Fiffer-feffer-feff" stress each letter's sound, making the book a playful introduction to phonics for children learning to read.

Richard Branson: “I have been reading a lot of books by one of my favourite authors, Dr Seuss... There is more wisdom and humour in his cartoons and rhymes than in any number of lengthy and highbrow books.”
