Publisher Description
Learn the ABCs through cute, quirky mash-ups of animals and food, from Apricat to Zebrussels Sprout!
A is for Apricat is a fun, creative way for kids to learn their ABCs. Combining photos of fresh fruits and vegetables with cute illustrations of animals, illustrator Mauro Gatti has created a whole new kind of critter! The Apricat has the round, fuzzy body of a real apricot, with the adorable whiskers and face of a kitten. And the Turkale may have the head and neck of a turkey, but its body is fresh and green.
Each page features a letter with a new fruit or vegetable creature, paired with simple text to help kids learn the letter, the animal, and the food. A food facts page at the back explains the health benefits of each featured food with playful, kid-geared language.
Promoting healthy eating and imaginative thinking, this unique, lighthearted take on a basic concept will be enjoyed by kids and parents alike.
The Little Concepts series helps young readers learn their ABCs with adorable illustrations featuring unique animals, colors, languages, and healthy foods. From A to Z, learning the alphabet (even in Spanish and French!) has never been so surprising and engaging.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Nutrition meets wordplay in Gatti's risible romp through the alphabet. The first page introduces the concept of combining a "tasty treat" with an "adorable critter," showing an equation that melds photographs of an apricot and a kitten. The resulting creature "apricat" shows a buttery apricot sporting cartoonish cat features, legs, and a striped brown tail. Brief text matches the playful mood from "apricat" to "zebrussels sprout," describing the "broccolion" as "the (very gassy) king of the jungle," while the "moushroom" "tastes great with stinky cheese." Humorous digital collage illustrations riff on the produce shapes to incorporate googly eyes and animal elements. Though the board book may encourage readers to play with their food, this adds up to an enjoyable introduction to the ABCs. Ages 3 6.
