Not your average ABC book—instead of the usual bears, cats, and x-ray fish, readers meet quokkas, urials, and xerus in Bartlett's cheerful celebration of wild creatures. Soft, die-cut illustrations pair with playful questions, making this board book a gentle but adventurous trip through the alphabet that sparks curiosity about the wider natural world. VERDICT A lively and refreshing pick for alphabet shelves and animal-themed collections.
