M Is for Metal! | Never Mind Your P's and Q's | ABC&W (Book Bundle)

Now you can get all three of the Paul McNeil and Barry Divola Rockin' Alphabets series of musically themed children's books, in one convenient (and money saving) bundle. Oh, and what do you know - just in time for the holidays? Here's a bit of background about each:

M Is for Metal!



Imagine Dr. Seuss crossed with Spinal Tap and The Simpsons and you're in the ballpark. Appealing to children's sense of the absurd, plus tickling grown- ups' funny bones with in-jokes about rock stars and their foibles, M Is for Metal! is one of those books where parents and kids can look at the same page together and both laugh, but not necessarily at the same thing. Warning: This (amazing) children's book is NOT for everyone. It contains heavy metal references and words like "groupie," "hell" and "The Damned." The book also contains cartoon images of people kissing, little children in the nude, and pets doing their "business." While we think this book is probably one of the best children's books we have EVER seen, not all parents will agree. If you are concerned about the above references, we'd suggest you find an alternate gift for your indie rock child or parents.

Never Mind Your P's and Q's - Here's the Punk Alphabet



Imagine for a moment that the lead singer of the Sex Pistols was Dr. Seuss! You've just entered the world of Never Mind Your P's and Q's: Here's the Punk Alphabet, the much anticipated follow- up to the wildly popular alphabet book M Is for Metal. Appealing to children's sense of the absurd, while tickling the funny bones of adults with in-jokes about punk rock's stars, fashion and foibles, this is one of those books where parents and kids can look at the same page together and both laugh, but not necessarily at the same thing.

ABC&W: The Country and Western Alphabet



Yee! And furthermore, Ha! Paul McNeil and Barry Divola, the self-styled "god-fathers of rock-based learning," are following up their wildly popular books M is for Metal and Never Mind Your P's and Q's - Here's the Punk Alphabet with The Country and Western Alphabet. Appealing to kids' sense of the absurd, while tickling the funny bones of adults with in-jokes about boot-scooting, hillbillies, cowboys, Nashville and truckers, this is the latest hilarious installment in the Rockin' Alphabets series, where parents and children can look at the same page together and laugh, but not necessarily at the same thing. From Hank and Loretta, to Willie and Johnny, The Country and Western Alphabet is the most country and the most western alphabet book in history!
