This is a book of gramograms, little word puzzles where letters, numbers, and everyday symbols are spoken out loud to form words and sentences. These days, with the ubiquitousness of shorthand texting and the familiar at symbol in email addresses, we all have a bit more gramogram experience, whether we realize it or not. AB@C is filled with all-new gramogramsnew words, new settings, and a few new symbolsand each one is illustrated with a New Yorkerstyle cartoon that gives comedic context for the caption. (For instance, the book's cover art, a drawing of a bumblebee on a ship in the ocean, helps reveal the translation of AB@C: A bee at sea.)
