Alphamals

Author: Graham Carter

A stunning collection of animals make up this beautiful alphabet book. Each spread shows a full colour animal illustration with an illuminated letter and a short verse offering some factual information about the animal. The artwork will appeal to anyone with an eye for graphic design, and the gorgeous colours make each page a beauty to behold. Elegant production as ever from Big Picture Press includes glorious endpapers, hardback format with gold leaf detail and a thick luxurious paper. The animals included too, add some variety from the usual line-up, most notably the small but fierce Quoll, the mighty horned Urial and for that trickiest of letters, the X-ray Tetra fish. Alphamals makes a beautiful gift to start a young one’s learning, or a handsome addition to any nature lover’s library.
