A Is for Musk Ox

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Matthew Myers. In this humorous ABC-book parody, a self-centered musk ox sees each letter of the alphabet as a chance to talk about himself: "C is for musk ox...because...we live in Canada..." The joke is stretched a bit too thin, but Myers's paint is as thick and bulky as his main character's fur, giving the illustrations an almost tactile quality.
