Product Description:
A stylish animal alphabet book with illustrations created from the letters in each animal's name.
Bold color and simple yet striking graphics make a unique alphabet book that will appeal to readers of all ages. The Bembo typeface is one of the most elegant of the classic typefaces, and its clean, graceful lines inspired the artist to use the letters in a wholly new way. From antelope to zebra-with such exotic beasts as iguanas and narwhals in between-this menagerie of animals has been created with only the shapes of the letters in each animal's name. Children will have fun playing 'I spy' with the letters in each picture, and adults will admire the sophisticated art and sleek design of this sumptuous book.

Rating: - What a Book!!

BEMBO'S ZOO is the perfect book to enjoy with children from the picture book level to the beginning reader. It is a treasure hunt to find all the letters. The book is beautifully presented and a joy to share and introduce to children.
Rating: - Amazing kid's book
I know this will sound like a cheezy movie or theater review but it is heartfelt. Bembo's Zoo is nothing short of astonishing, inspired, miraculous and stunning. If this book doesn't get a kid into learning their ABCs, nothing will. So turn off the TV and open a copy of Bembo's Zoo. Share it together.
