Animalicious : A Quirky ABC Book by Anna Dewdney and Reed Duncan - OPTIONAL

Animalicious : A Quirky ABC Book by Anna Dewdney and Reed Duncan, PICTURE BOOK. Penguin Workshop (Penguin), 2019. $15. 9781524792053

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW 

There are many ABC books about animals, but this one is different. Full of puns and funny drawings, the animals names have been altered to reflect what they are doing (like Hippopotamess or Polar Bare)

A silly look at the alphabet. Some of the puns are amusing, it's certainly interesting, but if the intended audience is the same as for a regular ABC book, I don't think they have the cultural maturity to understand.
