This is a great alphabet book that shows animals and relates the name of that animal group. It is interesting to find out all the group names, like a bask of crocodiles and a crash of rhinos.
What really makes this book are the incredible illustrations. Instead of calling the pictures illustrations, I want to say artwork. They are gorgeous and lifelike, except for the humor that the illustrator finds in words. For instance, for a run of salmon the artist puts little jerseys on the fish as if they were in a marathon and for a school of x-ray fish the artist puts mortarboards on the fish. It is funny and cute and wonderful.
