A is for Axolotl: an Exotic ABC's
As a parent, it can be frustrating (if still adorable!) when your little person brings you the same ABC picture book twelve times a day. In an effort to expand the horizon of parents as well as our littles, this 'ABC's' book is filled to bursting with extraordinary critters from around the world. Each picture is coupled with fascinating fun facts to entertain and educate the older loved ones, who are there to enjoy a good book-snuggle with their little. As an added bonus, this compilation has been illustrated with 'Musical Menagerie' creatures. Each illustration is drawn using *only* musical notation. Some of the symbols have been artistically stretched or warped; how many can you find and recognize?

Unique and charming ABC book for all ages
As a preschool teacher, I am always on the lookout for new Alphabet books. This one appeals with charming illustrations that are hiding musical notation. As a Suzuki parent, I appreciate them as clever ways to encourage musical literacy. I found myself chuckling at the facts about the animals and their cousins. Who knew that giraffes can lick their own eyebrows! Well done and fun to read. I will take it to work tomorrow :-)
