The Z Was Zapped ( ISBN 0-395-44612-0 ) is a picture book by the American author Chris Van Allsburg originally published in 1987 by Houghton Mifflin . The book tells the story "in 26 acts", each showing how each letter in the alphabet caught some bad luck. [1] The artwork has a stark look by using black and white pencil drawings. Each destruction of the letters take place on a proscenium theater stage.
Examples:
- The A was in an avalanche.
- The B was badly bitten.
- The C was cut to ribbons.
- The Z was zapped.
