Nonfiction Monday: The Wildlife ABC


The Wildlife ABC:
A Nature Alphabet Book

by Jan Thornhill
Owlkids Books, Inc., 2012

Jan Thornhill provides a beautiful experience to children as they learn the alphabet and explore nature in this gorgeous new picture book. From the stanza for the letters A and B: A is for Auk/ Who lives by the sea/ B is for Beaver/ Felling a tree, to the final stanza in the book: Y is for Yellowjacket/ Who might live near you/ And Z is for zoo/ Can you tell who is who?, lyrical text and framed vibrant illustrations bring nature to life. Back matter includes nature notes that provide a plethora of information about each animal featured. Reviewed by Kim Hutmacher. We would like to thank Owlkids Books, Inc. for providing a copy of this book for review.
