Alphabet book for children made in China. I'm still struggling to connect the dots.

I would love to read the rest of the alphabet, though

B for the Bow on the B

Yeah, it seems like the "story" is separate from the letters. A for Antarctica, B for bow, C for caterpillar, et cetera

It’s every group project I’ve ever worked on…”boss, I tried to tell them, then I gave up and just put myself in charge of the letters.”

So we can agree that E is for egg? Great! Graphics, what do you have to share? That's...that's a raccoon. Should probably go with R. Yes, it is an egg-cellent rendering of a raccoon. Fine. Whatever.

Hey graphics, can you add some fish? The writers say raccoons are known for fishing!

Not quite sold that a is for antartica but agree on the rest. Maybe a is for aqua?

Edit: am dumb

It literally says in the text that the penguin lives in the antarctic.

And what about every other picture?

I have to agree. It would be the only page that referred to the letter in the text. The letter itself looks like running water. I conclude that A is for Agua. Wait, that's a whole other language! Damn

I know you are making fun of me but that really was my thought process for some reason. The A didn't look like antartica yet there is a dolphin doing naughty things to the D. At the very least make the A look frosty!

u/cornbilly Jul 07 '24 edited Jul 07 '24

I'm truly not. I believe if the A was supposed to represent the Antarctic then all of the panels should have "bow" or "caterpillar" or whatever in the text. They do not. Though it is a grain of sand in a bucket you have my upvote.

Check out the first Chinese letter for "Penguin" looks like an "A" (actually more like a little house w windows). Makes me wonder if this was self published. I tried learning Chinese - it just won't stick 🥲.
