Nominated for the Kate Greenaway Award, this is an eye-popping compilation of animal group names with a fresh, contemporary design approachA school of whales, a flock of geese, a murder of crows: these are some of the animal group names we have grown up with. But have you heard of a congregation of crocodiles, a flamboyance of flamingos, or a smack of jellyfish? Then turn the pages of this book to discover a collection of lesser-known and sometimes more fanciful ones—a fever of stingrays, a storytelling of ravens, a battery of barracudas, and more, illustrated with bold, punchy shapes and colors that are powerful to the eye and the mind.

A perfect gift book and learning tool, this book moves beyond the familiar to investigate little-known animal-related vocabulary, paired with innovative design A litter of kittens, a colony of ants, a pride of lions: everyone has heard of these plural nouns. But what about a parcel of hogs, a kaleidoscope of butterflies, or a business of ferrets? What could be more apt than calling a group of cockroaches an intrusion? Perhaps a loveliness of ladybirds! These fanciful groups and many more are illustrated with cutting-edge design—dazzling as a dazzle of zebras.

Two books in one, this collection of graphic representations of 100 male names flips over to reveal a book of 100 female names—both chock full of wonderfully expressive graphic design and typography From Aaron to Will and Angie to Wendy, common names get an illustrative treatment by PatrickGeorge founder Peter Scott. They are revealed in a realignment of their letters, visually represented, or just implied—making some enjoyably obvious and others tantalizingly obscure. What is hidden in Marshall, Phoebe, Jack, Harry, or Adam? What do most people think of when they read Carrie, Olive, or Benjamin? This collection brilliantly and graphically conveys one set of associations with these names.

A striking book of opposites ideal for early learning, designed to build vocabulary and discover visual perspective Eleven pairs of opposites each have a clear, acetate sheet between them. Children can simply flip the acetate back and forth to reveal the opposite. This book is full of bold, simple, colorful images, always with a visual twist. Fun, educational, and making graphic design accessible to all ages, these quirky illustrations encourage interactive reading between adult and child.
