Inspired by reading man "ABC" books to his three-year-old daughter, his love of words, and his incessant inability to stop doodling, Victor Stabin created the improbable alliterative combinations and illustrations that inhabit these cards. For almost three years, wherever he went, he brought a dictionary along. Combing through over 8,000 pages of a variety of dictionaries, he came up with the alliterations that inhabit this work. In his heart he knew he was creating a work that, while using unusually obtuse words, would have broad appeal and challenge the "ABC" status quo. The goal--to create platforms that bridge literate curiosity across multiple generations using mostly common (and sometimes extraordinarily uncommon) imagery in new and inventive ways.Vain snails, a small-headed monster looking for love, and sub-atomic sheep captivate readers through imagery, quirky words, and illuminating definitions.
