OPERATION ALPHABET: The Ministry of LettersAL MACCUISH Book Number: 88952 Product format: HardbackA Thames & Hudson art publication illustrated in beautiful, muted colours and retro illustrations by Luciano Lozano, the book is a real pleasure for grown ups although probably designed for children ages 3 to 5. Operation Alphabet tells the story of a little boy named Charlie Foxtrot. He has just started school and finds learning the alphabet strange and confusing. Luckily his struggles are spotted by two agents from the top-secret Ministry of Letters who summoned the Special Alphabet Service (SAS) to the rescue. Boarding trains, dodging hungry cats and personally escorted by a dashing duchess, the 26 letters embark on a thrilling adventure to find Charlie, teach him the alphabet, and open his mind to a love of letters and stories. Not many people know this, but inside an ordinary red post box in London, next to Big Ben, there exists this top secret government department, the mysterious Ministry of Letters! This story is highly classified, a delight for grown-ups or children ages 3 to 5, and the special jacket folds out into an alphabet poster. Rediscover the wonder of words and the magic of reading. Retro styled, 64pp, 20.5 x 27cm. Import.
