5.0 out of 5 stars Vibrantly illustrated alphabetic menagerie: A Must See!, 22 Oct 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Animalia (Hardcover)
Animalia is a stunning example of what fun an imaginative illustrator can have with the simplest of subjects. Base takes the alphabet to a whole new level in this fabulous book of outrageous animal-oriented situations. My personal favourite, the letter H, has the particularly fantastic title: "Horrible Hairy Hogs Hurrying Homewards on Heavily Harnessed Horses." It features just that, but in colours and detail that Michaelangelo must have only dreamt of. To fulfill the alphabetic premise, Base scatters letter-related, yet logically incongruous, images (a pair of hamsters stand innocently in a tuft of grass as the Hogs ride rapidly past) throughout each scene in an amazing, but successful, test of harmony. These miscellaneous images let the readers, ages 2 to 90, gleefully search the exquisite scenes for an amazing variety of alphabetic inhabitants. I recommend this book for anyone -- if, however improbably, the ideas alone don't make it worthwhile, the genius and execution involved certainly will.

4.0 out of 5 stars An alphabetic tour of the animal kingdom, 1 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Animalia (Picture Puffin) (Paperback)
Animalia joins some beautiful illustration of animals in incredible situations, each an interpretation of the alphabet. A treat for tired tigers tearing at their toupees!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinationg children's picture book, 9 Jun 2009
By H. Campion (Norfolk, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Animalia (Hardcover)
I ordered this as a present for an eight-year-old, & after looking through it, wanted another one to keep at home. I'd already seen, & given as a present Graeme Base's "The Water Hole" and this book is just as fascinating. The pictures are delightfully witty & really motivate a child - or an adult - to play with words imaginatively. It has a picture page for each letter of the alphabet, with just one sentence of text, but the moment you start to name the objects & creatures in the picture you have fun - for instance, on the T page there are two tigers taking the two-thirty train to Timbuktu, while three tortoises play tunes on a tuba, a trombone & a trumpet. It's a superbly entertaining book to stimulate imagination & language.
