Zoo Flakes ABC

A is for alligator, B is for bear. Can you find the animal hiding in there?

Not just another alphabet book―here is something special. Zooflakes ABC is a strong and simple concept book that works on more than one level. This graphically appealing alphabet book also develops children's visual acuity as they seek the images hidden within the pictures. Familiar animals make it easy to pick out the lions, turtles, and bears within the delicate and astonishingly inventive cut-paper snowflakes that Will C. Howell has created. Once readers have learned their ABCs, they'll learn to make their own Zooflakes in a fun "how to" section at the end of the book. In the classroom or at home, practicing your letters was never this much fun!

Will C. Howell is the author of I Call it Sky, illustrated by John Ward, as well as several books for educators. A recently retired elementary school teacher, he lives in West Linn, Oregon.
