I think the title is misleading. This book presents the alphabet in traditional A to Z sequence associating each letter with an animal. These are not real animals doing silly things, but made up animals with nonsense names and ridiculous pictures. Most adults buy alphabet books to teach toddlers and preschoolers. Children in this age group will be totally confused by this book. They won't be able to repeat the difficult names; some examples are Eumpas, Lobstrit, and Reindoceros. A few of the animals resemble real animals that young children might be familiar with like the giraffe (Umptor), and this is even more confusing. Unless you enjoy nonsense rhymes, there is no rhyme or reason for this book. I could not recommend it as a teaching tool.
