ANIMALIA , by Graeme Base. From the book jacket of ANIMALIA ….
E N D
From the book jacket of ANIMALIA… “ANIMALIA is an alphabet book with a difference, a stunning series of images of a fantastic animal world. It is filled with exotic and familiar creatures and everyday things in strange settings, and it is a land with a wealth of hidden objects and ideas.” “ANIMALIA is much more than A is for Apple. The letters of the alphabet explode into images that delight the eye and words the thrill the ear: A is for An Armoured Armadillo Avoiding An Angry Alligator.”
Within the pages of this book You may discover, if you look Beyond the spell of written words, A hidden land of beast and birds. For many things are ‘of a kind’, And those with keenest eyes will find A thousand things, or maybe more – It’s up to you to keep the score. A final word before we go; There’s one more thing you ought to know: In Animalia, you see, It’s possible you might fine me. - Graeme
