The Wildlife ABC and 123: A Nature Alphabet and Counting Book

Two Jan Thornhill primers published in the late 1980s unite in the paper-over-board The Wildlife ABC & 123: A Nature Alphabet & Counting Book. Her iconic portraits combine with rhyming couplets in the first, and the numeral plus a brief description for the latter (the ""Queen Bee"" illustration for ""Q"" features a honeycomb border that details a bee's larval development). The counting portion ultimately leaps up to 1,000 tadpoles. PW said, ""Her flamboyant drawings have the bold vibrancy of woodcuts."" .
