A hungry alligator bursts out of the pages ready for a snack — and finds a donut several pages later. But Donut doesn’t particularly want to be eaten, so he rolls off further into the alphabet. Alligator gives chase and the story soon goes off the rails — they crash into Queen who slips on Soap. And that’s all before Tornado shows up! Definitions go flying, no one is in the right place. Can Dictionary put herself back together again?"It's a book about chaos. Chaos and order.
"The idea behind the book is that you’ve got this very rigid structure," Sam Winston says, of a typical dictionary."So where some of the humor and the playfulness and the fun comes from is that this is a book doing something it shouldn’t do." Essentially, coming alive.And to circle back to why it took Winston and Jeffers so many years to make this book: there’s not much software designed to do this in the way they needed it to be done.
"It's a dance," says Sam Winston."But you know, we like it. There's a lot of trust in the room, so we have fun."
