ABOUT THE EVENT

Raleigh author Paul Friedrich joins us for Saturday Morning Storytime! Books will be available for purchase at the reading.


ABOUT THE BOOK

A hilarious and unexpected backward counting picture book from the author of Zebra and Yak: The Backwards Alphabet Book.

Counting books are supposed to go one, two, three, then a bunch of other numbers...

But this one starts with Twenty bottles of milk on the wall. It's an odd—actually, an even—way to kick things off. Zebra and Yak aren't sure what to think. And from bottles of milk, to runaway cows, to UFOs on the loose, things just get stranger from there.

The author of Zebra and Yak: The Backwards Alphabet Book returns with an irreverent take on counting, and the same hilarious characters are back for another unexpected adventure.

PAUL FRIEDRICH is an Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist, graphic designer, and muralist whose work includes Zebra and Yak: The Backwards Alphabet Book and the celebrated Onion Head Monster books. He has won the Raleigh Medal of Arts and has worked with media companies like Disney, Adult Swim, and the Cartoon Network.
