The Alphabeast: The Black Bellied Whistling Duck Book of Animal Rhymes from A to Z

Intended as an aide in learning the alphabet as well as an introduction to the world of animals, this animal alphabet, told in rhymes with illustrations, is, in equal parts, whimsical and instructive. With the sophistication of the rhymes and the design of the book, it addresses both the child and the reader of the book with respect, intelligence and wit. The rhymes are musical and the illustrations a delight to the eye.
