Eh? To Zed is a colourful and rhythmic alphabet book that uses distinctly Canadian words from the beginning to the end. Each letter is accompanied with several words starting with that same letter, as well as corresponding images. These images, created by Alan Daniel, are constructed together in a collage form. Following the alphabet are four detailed definition pages, which enable readers to learn the definitions of the words used in the abcedarium.
