When Mog misbehaves at Debbie's birthday party, she skulks away in disgrace and falls asleep under the table. Her dreams lead us on a surreal journey through the alphabet, but all ends well when she awakes in time for Debbie's birthday trip to the zoo.
This is a great alternative to the usual 'A is for apple, B is for ball' type of alphabet books. The story keeps children involved and encourages frequent reading, whilst the wonderful illustrations mean that a number of unfamiliar words are painlessly absorbed into the child's vocabulary.

This has such a strong story, driven by wonderfully detailed illustrations that you'd expect from Judith Kerr, that you don't realise you are being 'taught' the ABC. In fact, that's the least of it as we follow Mog's nightmarish dream via jelly, jaguars, princesses and purple palaces, giant rats and Nicky with his net (lots of alliteration). I have no idea if this helped my daughter with her alphabet, but more importantly it allows imaginative escape into the world of images, which she loved week after week for about 2 years from ages 3.5-6.

When Mog causes mayhem at Debbie's birthday party, she skulks away in disgrace and falls asleep under the table. Her dreams take her on a surreal journey through the alphabet, before she awakes to join Debbie and her friends at the zoo. This is a great book to make learning letters more exciting than just A for apple, B for ball etc., as toddlers see it as a story rather than just a learning exercise. The illustrations are delightful, and help introduce a number of unfamiliar words painlessly.

MOGGY!
I love Mog books. My son loves Mog books. In fact everyone does and this is another classic. If you love Mog then go ahead and treat little ones to this brilliant book.

4 and a half year old was quite disappointed!
Book was fine for younger kids who do not know their alphabet - we were looking for a good story book (like all the other Mog books we own)

Very disappointing for a mog story
Whilst the story is that Mog falls asleep, dreams, and conveniently dreams of things which begin with the next corresponding letter of the alphabet, we in our family found the... Read more
