Every animal portrait is made from the letters that spell that animal's name.These ingenious illustrations link letter and image in a totally new way, creating a connection between word and picture that will help improve letter recognition, spelling and design skills. Readers are challenged to find the letters, spell the animal subject, unpuzzle the image, and marvel at the construction of each image. Extra information keeps readers interested: Did you know that the octopus has nine brains? Can you make a portrait of an octopus from the letters of its name? Did you know you could make a swan with just four beautiful letters? If you rearrange the letters of an armadillo, do you still have an armadillo? Discover a world where letters and nature meet. Discover the kooky connections between letter shapes and animal body language. This book is deliciously large, and rich enough in glorious colour and detail to immerse young readers in letter-shape and design.
