Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Base has created an ABC book that goes far beyond a simple listing of items in alphabetical order. There are captions or headlines accompanying each letter's scene, such as ``Eight Enormous Elephants Expertly Eating Easter Eggs,'' or ``Two Tigers Taking the 10:20 Train to Timbuktu.'' Each picture is replete with an apparently random choice of objects that have in common (on every page but the one for the letter X) their first letters. This Australian import makes for a delightful visual feast, though it lacks a clear conceptual coherence or unity of action or meaning on every page. No matterreaders will have a fine time guessing at objects and searching for a small child who hides among the pages; and the meticulous artistry is far-reaching in its innovation, detail and humor. Base's monumental effort will not go unrewarded; if books could be honored for the sheer number of hours readers could pore over crammed pages, and for the inexhaustible supply of extra touches, this one surely would be a winner. All ages. (September)
From The Critics
Originally published ten years ago, this book has sold 2 million copies worldwide. The anniversary publication is a limited collectors edition. The large format spreads are very detailed illustrations of a verse, in alphabetical order. Each verse contains only words beginning with the appropriate letter. Careful observation reveals many less obvious objects and creatures, all beginning with the same letter. The illustrations are mixed media and are fun to look at. 1997 (orig.

    Unnecessary VIOLENCE hidden in book

    I was shocked to see the illustration and words for the letter K. "Kid kookaburra and Kelly kangaroo KIDNAPPING Kitty koala" and the illustration shows the kookaburra and kangaroo holding the koala at gun-point. This is completely an unnecessary display of violence considering the young, preschool-age target audience who is learning his/her alphabet. The book should have the characters "kissing" and not "kidnapping."

    Inappropriate page w large guns and kidnapping

    The page for the letter "k" has personified animals in clothes w a caption "Kid kookaburra and Kelly kangaroo kidnapping kitty koala" w a scared koala being held around the neck w a large gun pointed at her. However, if this doesn't phase you for your child to see/read, the other pages are great w spectacular illustrations.

    Enduring

    I remember my young daughter recieving a copy of Animalia when she was 6 years old. We loved the illustrations. This is what I would consider an art book more than a storybook. A great way to start a youngster on the path of art appreciation.

    Amazing Illustrations

    I purchased this book for my daughter when she was young and she absolutely loved it. Now I have nephews whom I've purchased it for and I know they'll love it as well. The graphics are amazing and the illiterations are catchy for the kids.

    Glowing success with every child

    Every child to whom I've given this book or with whom I've shared my copy has loved it. The artistry is amazing and gorgeous, and the words are fun as well. Can't recommend it enough.
