Celestino Piatti's Animal ABC

(3) PS Translated by Jon Reid. Written by Hans Schumacher. Piatti's rich art is showcased in this well-designed alphabet book. From alligator to zebra, his stylish animals pop on crisp-white pages; the rich colors are held in place by thick black outlines. Most of the animals are familiar, some are less so (Ural owl, vicuña); the imaginary "Xopiatti" is a creative solution to the X problem. The accompanying rhymes are whimsical.
