From Booklist:

PreS-Gr. 2. This alphabet book uses cut-paper snowflakes in animal shapes. "A is for Alligator" is accompanied by a very interesting cut-paper snowflake made of six alligators. "B is for Bear" shows an intricate snowflake with six bears in a circle. "O is for Octopus" is clear, even for young children; other patterns, such as "R is for Rabbit," require lots of close attention to identify the animals in the jagged cut-paper shapes. Each snowflake pattern appears inside a black circle set on a brightly colored background. Young children will love guessing what animal will come next, anticipating their favorite, and then finding it on the page. Older children will be fascinated as they study the snowflake creations from many angles. Fortunately, Howell adds a two-page spread at the back with instructions for those who want to fold and cut their own "zoo flakes." Kathy Broderick
