About The Book

When the letter R suddenly vanishes, a whole town goes upside-down in this side-splitting picture book of alphabet chaos that’s Can I Be Your Dog? meets P Is for Pterodactyl.

A little girl wakes up one day to find that R, a vital piece of the alphabet, has vanished! Suddenly, she has pet feet instead of a ferret. Flocks of cows replace crows flying in the sky. Giant shoes (not shores!) live on the sandy beaches of her town.

What could have happened to the eighteenth letter of the alphabet? Did it get lost—or stolen? One way or another, the town needs to be saved!

About The Illustrator

Photograph by Rachel Lye

Billy Yong likes drawing cute things, silly things, and (sometimes) morbid things. Billy’s work ranges from happy, wholesome goodness like the Green Jolene series to action-packed, fireball-shooting infernal hands like Thrash Force and the Thor Quest series. He’s also had a hand in making picture books with goofball shenanigans like My Pet Feet, among many other projects. Billy lives in Singapore, where he draws, survives parenthood, teaches swordsmanship, and drinks bubble tea.
