Synopsis
Wit is on display on every page of this remarkable alphabet book, each spread of which is devoted to an emblematic creature―an appetitive Anteater, an annoying Fly, an addled Joey, a prickly Porcupine, and twenty-two more. On the left of each spread is an eight-line poem; opposite it is a delicate, complementary pencil drawing.
