K-Gr 2-With highly original illustrations and a selection of striking animals representing the letters of the alphabet, this is an eye-catching and entertaining book for all ages. Each tall and narrow page is dedicated to a single letter and features a highly stylized animal created from geometric elements, in a muted palette of colors. The animals chosen range from the familiar (elephant, giraffe, hippopotamus, etc.) to the exotic (mandrill, impala, quetzal, gnu, etc.). Each is accompanied by interesting facts about the species. Although the vocabulary in these descriptions may be a challenge for very young readers, the book will work well for story time. Recommended for all collections. Maria Otero-Boisvert, ""Criticas""
