Description

An incredibly stylish alphabet book - perfect for children and adults alike. See the sights of London as never before - through the eyes of an award-winning illustrator. Paul Thurlby takes us from A for Abbey Road, through K for Kew Gardens to Z for London Zoo in this striking book. Beautiful and covetable, this book deserves a place on every coffee table - as well as in every nursery. Praise for Numbers: 'Stunning collection.' Guardian 'Paul Thurlby's prints are so ludicrously beautiful that I am seriously tempted to blow the budget, order the whole lot and paper a wall with them.' India Knight, journalist and author

Stunning collection. - (Numbers Book) Guardian An absolutely stunning alphabet book. Each letter is its own work of art. - (Alphabet Book) angelsandurchins.co.uk Skilfully constructed and cleverley composed, it's an awesome alphabet book that adults will also appreciate. - (Alphabet Book) Kirkus Reviews Deceptively simple at first glance this collection of short phrases paired with bold illustrations and basic facts rewards close examination. Wordplay, visual jokes and strong design combine to create another winner for Thurlby-and readers. - (Wildlife Book) Kirkus Reviews
