"The Absurd ABC" by Walter Crane is a fun alphabet book from the late 1800s that introduces young readers to their ABCs through funny pictures and rhymes. The book takes a creative approach to teaching the alphabet by pairing each letter with silly situations and characters. From an apple representing "A" to a zany creature for "Z," the pages are filled with playful verses and familiar characters from kids' stories, such as a baby and Humpty Dumpty. Each letter is brought to life with rhythmic writing that makes learning the alphabet entertaining.
