Customer Reviews

Beautiful illustrations; fun rhymes

My 1 year old LOVES this book! It's great fun for him to learn animal names. He loves the rhyme and rhythm, and we both love the illustrations.

Beautiful, whimsical alphabet book

Delicate and detailed illustrations with old fashioned looking pictures this book is based on a traditional Shaker abc rhyme of animal names. The illustrations are playful and you can tell the artists had fun illustrating this book. The book introduces unusual animals names like xanthos, ocelot, angleworm and ichneumon. Fun book to share with your children.
