This charming book will introduce children to both the alphabet and the world of animals, as well as
teaching numbers from one to twenty.
Each letter of the alphabet is illustrated with an animal whose name begins with that letter and
specially written verses accompany each illustration. Each number is also illustrated and there are
verses next to each picture to read aloud and questions at the end of the book to test what has been
learnt.
The beautiful drawings are the work of Margaret Tarrant, a leading illustrator of children's books in the
1920s and 1930s.
