Did you know that an octopus has 3 hearts; or, that an elephant has 40,000 muscles in its trunk; or, that a herd of black rhinoceros is called a "crash"? Those little known facts, plus others, are in the Animal Alphabet book. You'll find them inserted in a bit of poetry and an assortment of 26 animals and a few other things in this carefully researched, sometimes word-bending children's/parents' book. It is a significant cross-over departure from the usual ABC approach. The concept of the book is simple, give them something so they react, I didn't know that," or with a smile and laugh-out-loud...or both.

Explore the animal world, from aardvark to zebu! Discover hundreds of animals, great and small. Lion and lizard, whale and wombat. Learn one wild fact about each animal. (Did you know that gorillas yawn when they are nervous?) Look carefully, because for each letter of the alphabet, one animal is pictured eight times. Why 8? Come inside and find out.

From anteaters and bears, to yetis and zebras, this charming animal alphabet book takes children on a journey all the way from A to Z (well, almost...). Learn your ABC's through a whole cast of your animal favourites.
