Operation Alphabet is the first story from The Ministry of Letters, published by Thames and Hudson and tells the tale of Charlie Foxtrot, a day-dreaming boy who just doesn’t have any interest in learning the alphabet for his homework.  To the rescue comes an army of charming letters — sent on their mission by top secret government department, The Ministry of Letters.  In their plight to help Charlie with his ‘alphabet-a-heebiegeebies’ and show him how brilliant letters, words and reading can be, they incur great adventure – speeding through a fabulous London landscape, escaping a hungry cat (cats like to eat letters!) and even getting a helping hand from Royalty!  Other then just being a great story, I also love the underlying message about how learning can be fun and that letters and words are more then just school-work.
