Alphabeasties and Other Amazing Types
From an alligator made of aaa's to a zebra made of zzz's, an alphabet of animals is on parade, each cleverly composed of its initial letter in a typeface that often suits the characteristics of that creature—a spiky alligator, a shaggy sheep, etc. Fold-out pages allow for the impressive height of the giraffe or the length of the alligator to be revealed. Small boxes on the bottom and sides of the pages show how using a different typeface for a particular letter makes it suitable for a different purpose—a loopy "l" for a lasso as opposed to one that leans or bends slightly for laziness. Spectacular enough to be shared again and again. Ages 3-9
