Bert Kitchen's beautiful and delicate paintings of the twenty-six animals which make up this book are hypnotising and compelling. The book has no words on any of the pages of the alphabet and the reader has the challenge of guessing the names of the animals which can be checked with the words on the last page. Apart from providing children with an enjoyable guessing game, this is a most beautiful book which will be always a pleasure to dip into.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Sweet book contains some not-so-common animal illustrations,
This review is from: Animal Alphabet (Paperback)
I picked up this book at Goodwill for either 25 or 50 cents. I'm so glad I got it. The illustrations are great - very lifelike! The book also has some animals that are unexpected such as a Jerboa for the J page. It's also fun to guess what the animals are since they aren't named until the last page!
