Alphabeasties and Other Amazing Types

E WER
Alphabeasties and Other Amazing Types is not your average alphabet book. Each page features an animal for each letter of the alphabet. However, this book goes a step further by creating the pictures out of the corresponding letter. For instance, the alligator for the letter "A" is composed of a mix of capital and lower case "a" typefaces. Some animals, such as the octopus and the giraffe, are so large that the reader must fold out the pages to see the alphabeast in its entirety. This is a fun book to peruse.
