About the Book

From the weird and wonderful imagination of an amazing new artist comes an alphabet book like no other. Kids will delight in discovering animals from A to Z living together in an old Victorian mansion. They'll meet an elephant in the ballroom playing with a model train, an octopus hanging from the foyer chandelier - and even a zebra enjoying a soak in the bathtub! Using watercolours and coloured pencils, Wallace Edwards has created a bizarre and luxurious world, rich in texture and detail. An engaging mix of art and alphabet book, "Alphabeasts" provides the basis for hours of animated discussion and quiet contemplation. AUTHOR: Wallace Edwards, a graduate of the Ontario College of Art, currently divides his time between Toronto and Kingston working as a freelance illustrator. He has created artwork for magazines, posters and the Toronto Zoo. His first children's picture book, Alphabeasts, won the 2002 Governor General's Award for Children's Literature Illustration. Wallace's third book, Mixed Beasts was also shortlisted for the Governor General's Award and won the Amelia Frances Howard-Gibbon Award. Wallace's work is widely received and has won the IRA Children's Choice Award and the ForeWord Book of the Year Award. His newest title, The Painted Circus, continues to build on his reputation as an exquisite artist and author. Colour illustrations

Review :
...[A] highly original and most appealing ABCDarium ... clever, arresting and thought-provoking through to Z.--Globe & Mail Edwards ... lets his beautiful, mysterious pictures operate on the imagination as they will.--Quill & Quire, Starred Review Imagine a slightly dilapidated Victorian house occupied solely by animals and you have the premise of this beautifully illustrated, faintly surreal alphabet book.--Booklist This delightful alphabet book is perfect for a rollicking fun story-time, alphabet study, or poetry class. But don't save this treasure just for the kids - anyone who appreciates art or illustration will love it too.--Children's Book News Visual contrast abounds in debut artist Edwards' watercolor-and-pencil illustrations, and he frequently conveys a sense of wit ...--Publishers Weekly
