AB@C: AND OTHER GRAMOGRAMS

A book of gramograms, word puzzles where letters, numbers, and everyday symbols are spoken out loud to form words and sentences.  William Steig (CDB!, CDC?) pioneered the form by pairing gramograms with drawn vignettes which helped readers solve the puzzles.

Through AB@C, Rob Meyerson and I wanted to re-envision gramograms for the twenty-first century and pay homage to Steig.

“As a huge fan of Wiliam Steig, I love this fun book full of lovely drawings paired with clever gramograms.” —Liza Donnelly, New Yorker cartoonist and writer

“A satisfying scratch to the brains of those who revel at the ikigai of punnery, word games, grammar, typography, and illustration. … Intellectually stimulating and entertaining yet bite-sized the gramograms within these pages will appeal to fans of Gary Larson, Norton Juster, and Bob Eckstein.” Jess Zafarris, Once Upon a Word and Words from Hell
