Animalphabet is cleverly written and beautifully illustrated. The images and colors will attract the attention of even very young children. The author presents both capital and small letters with a three line rhyme. She gives a real fact first and then writes something silly. As an example, "M, m is for Mischievous Mouse, Who keeps nuts in his house, Then hides them from his spouse!" As you can see, some of the vocabulary words will require explanation to younger children, but this book will definitely expand a child's vocabulary repertoire. It is a book that will continue to be enjoyed as a child grows older and acquires more knowledge about the animals in the book. Then she will appreciate the cleverness of the rhymes and understand how the author has manipulated the language in the story.
