Synopsis:
A unique alphabet book combines lively text with strange illustrations, creating a surreal world that brings to life all of the animals, from A to Z, who live in an old Victorian mansion, from an elephant in the ballroom to an octopus hanging from the foyer chandelier.
Review:
...[A highly original and most appealing ABCDarium ... clever, arresting and thought-provoking through to Z.
Visual contrast abounds in debut artist Edwards watercolor-and-pencil illustrations, and he frequently conveys a sense of wit ?"
...[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
