Like an intrepid guide, Taylor escorts readers on a delightful stroll through nature, both wild and human. These twenty-six amusing stories demonstrate how the abecediary form is less a writing constraint than literary liberation from the predictable. From aardvarks to fish, toads to zebras, grownups to children, and so much in between, Taylor's world is indeed a wonder as he cleverly reminds us again and again that it is often the ordinary that makes life exztraordinary. A pleasure to read!

Using the simplicity of the alphabet to delve into the complexity of the natural world, the mind and the heart, James Henry Taylor gives us short, charming and diverting fiction. Do you ever wonder if wanting will work wonders? Or what your cats do all day long? Like modern Aesop's Fables--appropriate for a broad audience--Everyday Wonder educates and engages.--Editors.
