The Z was Zapped is an alphabet book written in the style of a theatre production. The artwork is black and white pencil drawings. Each act is one letter. Something happens to each letter and then you turn the page and it tells the letter and what happened to it on stage. For example, a giant shoe is pushing down on an F, and the the next page says, "The F was firmly flattened."
This alphabet book is fun because you have the chance to guess what is happening to each letter by the picture, before you turn the page and it tells you. The pencil drawings are realistic and dramatic. It also incorporates acts and aspects of a play which helps children learn about theatre while learning about the alphabet.
