The clever, charming, and highly entertaining illustrations at the heart of Alphabet Animals pull children into a world of letters, sounds, visual treats, and vocabulary. Traversing the entire alphabet, each of Suse MacDonald's 26 irresistible illustrations displays an animal in the shape of the first letter of its name. We see a fox, arms outstretched diver-like, forming the letter F. An impish horse's legs, head, tail, and torso create a clearly delineated H. The artwork isn't just fun and playful, it's beautiful. The rich colors and vibrant creativity make exploring each letter an adventure. The queerer the letter shape, the stranger or more clever the illustration might be. To see an Alphabet Animal, select a letter from the bottom of the screen, or swipe to turn the page. Tap the illustration to hear the animal's name. Swipe to unveil a card that displays the fully articulated upper-case letter (doing so makes each animal move in some fashion), then tap to hear the letter name. And for icing on the cake, a sweet game lets kids make cards with Alphabet Animals that can be saved to an album or sent to a friend.
