001727: Dustjacket now protected by a new Brodart Mylar Cover. "Animalia is an alphabet book with a difference, a stunning series of images of a fantastic animal world. It is filled with exotic and familiar creatures and everyday things in strange settings, and it is a land with a wealth of hidden objects and ideas." Review: "What's this elaborate illustration? "Horrible Hairy Hogs Hurrying Homewards on Heavily Harnessed Horses," of course. Graeme Base's astonishingly creative oeuvre begins with Animalia, the 1993 alphabet book that challenges the standard idea of how long reading a book for small kids ought to take. Animalia, like many of Base's books, is a vast puzzle, built with entrancing pictures that unfold into layers and layers of objects--all matched to each page's corresponding letter. Base leaves us stunned and amazed, painting reflections into the oddest surfaces and driving the urge to page-turn. This wonderful picture book works for 2-year-olds, 5-year-olds, and adults alike--something few other alphabet books can manage." Scarce, Out Of Print, Book.
