A propos du livre

Revue de presse

...[A] highly original and most appealing ABCDarium ... clever, arresting and thought-provoking through to Z.―Globe & Mail

Visual contrast abounds in debut artist Edwards' watercolor-and-pencil illustrations, and he frequently conveys a sense of wit ...―Publishers Weekly

This delightful alphabet book is perfect for a rollicking fun story-time, alphabet study, or poetry class. But don't save this treasure just for the kids - anyone who appreciates art or illustration will love it too.―Children's Book News

Imagine a slightly dilapidated Victorian house occupied solely by animals and you have the premise of this beautifully illustrated, faintly surreal alphabet book.―Booklist

Edwards ... lets his beautiful, mysterious pictures operate on the imagination as they will.―Quill & Quire, Starred Review

Présentation de l'éditeur

From the weird and wonderful imagination of an amazing new artist comes an alphabet book like no other. Kids will delight in discovering animals from A to Z living together in an old Victorian mansion. They'll meet an elephant in the ballroom playing with a model train, an octopus hanging from the foyer chandelier --- and even a zebra enjoying a soak in the bathtub!

Using watercolours and colored pencils, Wallace Edwards has created a bizarre and luxurious world, rich in texture and detail. An engaging mix of art and alphabet book, Alphabeasts provides the basis for hours of animated discussion and quiet contemplation.
