Description
Striking illustrations in black and fluoro pink will dazzle young eyes as they seek and find the amazing letter shapes that hide within these animal portraits. This unique 'abecedary' explores the A-B-C via illustrations made entirely of letters. Every image is a typographic portrait of each animal subject, created using only the letters of each animal's name.
