Alligator Alphabet

This is an altogether attractive alphabet of animals and their young together with their initial letters, illustrated in bold blobs of acrylic colour on bright and framed backgrounds with an abundance of pattern worked onto and into the animals, letters and borders. The final two spreads display the complete animal alphabet with an invitation to name the letters. While the rhyming captions presented in a large clear unadorned font tend to propel the reader through from A to Z, each spread is both an inspiration and open invitation for young audiences to try writing the letters and painting their own animal pictures.
