An Animal ABC

A is for Armadillo, short, stout and round; B is for Beetle, close to the ground. This 'marvellous, mixed-up menagerie' - as Alice Pattullo calls it - is a stunning collection of animal facts organised alphabetically and accompanied by a colourful screen print on each double page. There’s also a quiz at the end for keen-eyed animal fans - although it’s such a lovely book, it would seem a shame to write in it!

A lovely alphabet book and with accessible animal facts for younger children, this would be a great addition to any bookshelf.
