Product Information

Fiona Noble, The Bookseller This absolutely stunning book turns the alphabet into a wild exploration of the animal world . An hugely-interactive animal ABC guessing game with peep-through pages and amazing fold-out flaps, by the bestselling Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo , and visionary illustrator Sharon King-Chai.

Her other books include The Hospital Dog illustrated by Sara Ogilvie, The Christmas Pine illustrated by Victoria Sandøy and the hugely successful What the Ladybird Heard adventures illustrated by Lydia Monks. Julia Donaldson has written some of the world's best-loved children's books, including modern classics The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which together have sold over 25 million copies worldwide and have been translated into over one hundred languages.Sharon has a passion for innovation, and her artwork and clever use of paper cutting encourage the reader to think differently about the pages they hold in their hands. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. With eye-catching artwork and an exotic array of animals to marvel over, this is a gorgeous book to treasure and read over and over again – can you guess who has more legs than a butterfly?

Each page draws you further into a beautifully vibrant world of huge elephants, slithery snakes and growling tigers, inviting you to compare one animal to another and learn comparison words and adjectives from the natural world. She was the UK Children’s Laureate 2011–13 and has been honoured with a CBE for Services to Literature. I know some people don’t like that the book doesn’t make a great amount of sense (they way they go from one animal to another). Embark on a vibrant voyage of discovery through the natural world in a Julia Donaldson book like no other. It's fun to find the flaps, which fold out in different ways, making it a bit more interesting (though very little hands may need a bit of help here).To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I'm not 100% sure if a child would want to read it over and over again, once they've figured out everything, but I think some would.
