Wit is on display on every page of this remarkable alphabet book, each spread of which is devoted to an emblematic creature―an appetitive Anteater, an annoying Fly, an addled Joey, a prickly Porcupine, and twenty-two more. On the left of each spread is an eight-line poem; opposite it is a delicate, complementary pencil drawing.
