A very, very, very long time ago, the 25 letters of the alphabet lived in chaos and disorder, with no order or rules. Their daily lives were turned upside down by the arrival of a stranger: the mysterious Greek letter Y. At first confused, the letters decided to accept the newcomer, on the condition that he would always be last... in everything. But this raised a crucial question: if Y is last, who will be first, second, or third? So the letters organized a great race, and its outcome determined the alphabetical order we know today.
This fictional legend is followed by real facts about the remarkable history of our alphabet.
A playful picture book, ideal for exploring the origins of languages and alphabets while developing critical thinking skills.
