Tiny Di Terlooney is a little boy with a big imagination who would like to introduce us to some rather bizarre creatures, each beginning with a letter of the alphabet. These include the Acks (red, like to eat dirty clothes) and the Dinkalicious Dinky (likes to eat bananas from a tin, while balancing on a pin). But Tiny's celebration of letters is unexpectedly disrupted when a group of numbers decides to turn the alphabet book into a counting book... This is a highly entertaining 'alpha-number-bet' book, which revels in rhyme and nonsense! Tiny DiTerlooney aka Tony DiTerlizzi is the award-winning illustrator of the Spiderwick series.
Author description
Mary Botham Howitt was born in 1799 in Coleford, England. Originally published in 1829, Mary's best-known work 'The Spider and the Fly' has been enjoyed by generations of readers and has become an age old classical cautionary tale. Mary Howitt died in Rome in 1888. Tony DiTerlizzi's unique and unusal artstyle is the perfect complement to Howitt's classic tale. He lives with his wife in Brooklyn, New York.
