I’m not sure it
was intentional but there are three pages in this book about animals that it’s
possible for the reader to colour in: the legendary unicorn and the X-ray of a
triceratops and the gorgeous dragonfly.
This is a
vibrantly hued and intricately patterned alphabet book of a wide range of
creatures—some extinct, some common to the Australian bush, some found far away
and some lost in the mists of legend.
Although the book advises it’s for a target age group of 3–6 years old,
I have no doubt that older children and adults will enjoy this vivid and
informative bestiary.
