Publisher Description
A seriously silly ABC book packed with imaginary animals from the creator of the Llama Llama books, Anna Dewdney, and Reed Duncan.
From A is for Anonymouse and I is for Incredibull, to K is for Kangarude and R is for Rocktopus, this ABC book will have readers laughing out loud as they learn the alphabet with animals they may never have seen--or even heard of--before.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Longtime partners Duncan and the late Dewdney introduce make-believe animals with names that integrate wordplay, puns, and double entendres. "You think you know your animals?/ Here's some you've never seen / some day you may encounter them/ or see them in a dream," an opening poem reads. Boldt illustrates the puckish animals in scribbly, crayonlike textures that amp up their buffoonery: a red "raindeer" holds a yellow umbrella; a gray "Hippopotamess" sits on a messy floor; and a green "Knocktopus" wears blue boxing gloves on two of his eight arms. The book finds a sweet spot between silly and literal that can be fun to puzzle out; readers may be inspired to create their own bestiary. Ages 4 6.
