I'm not 100% sure if a child would want to read it over and over again, once they've figured out everything, but I think some would.

Sharon King-Chai's brightly colourful art and the cleverly designed shaped pages make Animalphabet a rich delight, while Julia Donaldson's rhythmic words are a pleasure to read aloud.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. To be fair, the text is fairly simple - as I'm sure most A-Z books are - the real star here is the colourful artwork. My 2 year old boy loves naming all the animals as we go through and he is a massive fan of this book in general. I know some people don’t like that the book doesn’t make a great amount of sense (they way they go from one animal to another). An hugely-interactive animal ABC guessing game with peep-through pages and amazing fold-out flaps, by the bestselling Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo , and visionary illustrator Sharon King-Chai.Animalphabet makes the gift with eye-catching artwork and an exotic array of animals to marvel over.
