The AC/DC AB/CD High-Voltage Alphabet is to be published next month.

AC/DC have inspired a new children's alphabet book.

The Aussie rock legends legends are the subject of a new book being released by Love Police - an Australia merchandise company and record label - aimed at pre-schoolers. The book sees the alphabet depicted with bright imagery inspired by the legendary rockers and their music.

Designed and produced by Paul McNeil, The AC/DC AB/CD High-Voltage Alphabet is set to be released on 11th November.

One entry from the book reads: "A is for Angus [Young], who thinks it’s good luck, to wear a school uniform, and walk like a duck.”

And another says: "C is for Cliff [Williams], who plays on the bass, likes only 4 notes and has a nice face.”

In a statement, Love Police founder Brian Taranto described the project as an "honour", with something for "any AC/DC or music fan".

He added: "Yeah, it’s a kids book, but any AC/DC or music fan will find something on every page.

“[McNeil] has done a sweet and rockin’ job. We are looking forward to educating another generation of rock and rollers!”

Love Police have already released three music-themed alphabet books to date, starting with 2007's M Is For Metal, while 'Never Mind Your Ps and Qs: Here’s The Punk Alphabet was released the following year.

The AC/DC AB/CD High-Voltage Alphabet is available to order from Love Police Books here.

Meanwhile, AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson is bringing out his memoir The Lives Of Brian this month.

He said: "I’ve had some long nights and some great nights, bad days and a lot of good ones.

“Now I’ve gone and written a bloody book about it… The Lives Of Brian is coming this October.”
