Adorable alphabet book with poems on each page. I love that when the book is trying to relate something from a known animal to a new animal (like scales on the echidna, match the scales on a snake) the illustrations or poems explain very well.
It’s got updated animals that have been discovered in the last decade, so that’s fun!

I really like this book and I think it is cool how it shows some animals that some people don't even know about!

This is an amazing book for kids who love the unusual animals. A very simple ABC book with a twist on it that kids love!

A great find ❤️

The animal lover in me appreciated the unique animal facts and fun twist on the ABCs and my infant appreciated the colorful pictures.

An instant favorite.

Fun rhyming scheme, beautiful pictures, and I didn’t even know much about the most of the animals featured!
