The Alphabet Menagerie: It's Cool to Be a Critter

The Alphabet Menagerie is a truly delightful children’s book that entertains with humor and clever rhyme. It’s hard to create a unique, new alphabet book, but John Maling has done it all. Kids will love “critters” like Vaquita, Xiphosuran, and Quetzal—“My name is hard, twisting tongues like a pretzel.” The verses are fun to read aloud, filled with interesting descriptions about origin, history and habitat. There’s Moose, for example—“We live in the North, where we run around loose!” And Narwhale—“My horn is really a tooth—a tooth grown long.” Both adults and children can enjoy all the witty depictions. This book will fully engage the imagination over and over—each time it’s read!
