From the publisher

Animals, art, and the ABCs--this dazzlingly delightful picture book shares an alphabetical collection of facts about all kinds of animals we know (or thought we did!) and love.

Did you know that a squid changes color and glows in the dark? That giraffes have tongues as long as your arm? That trying to race an ostrich would be like racing a train?

Learn a host of surprising facts about animals from A to Z in this gloriously illustrated book for kids. Featuring unique collages that incorporate colorful inks, photographs, and torn paper effects, The ABC Zoo is an educational and endlessly fun volume for animal lovers, art admirers, and fact fanciers.

GREAT FOR CURIOUS KIDS: This artfully engaging book is perfect for preschool, kindergarten, and early readers who are curious about animals, nature, and learning the alphabet.

SURPRISING ANIMAL FACTS: Children, teachers, and parents alike are bound to learn something new in this wonderful compendium of facts about animals from anacondas to zebras and everything in between.

ENERGETIC ILLUSTRATIONS: Whimsical collage-based illustrations as thrilling as the colorful work of Eric Carle and the crafty brilliance of Mo Willems bring new life to a menagerie of creatures both familiar (butterflies, penguins, and frogs) and mysterious (iguanas, jaguars, and vampire bats) that populate our zoos, forests, jungles, oceans, and skies.

  • Animal- or nature-loving children ages 2-7
