I came across this book last term when I went to the type show at the North Campus. Since seeing it, it has inspired me in a number of design projects that I've worked on this term. What was even better, we were asked to design our very own alphabet book and immediately ... I came to this book for inspiration. Each letter was carefully created to look and even FEEL like the animal they are representing. To make it more interactive, some of the animals fold out into larger and more intricate beasts.
'Alphabeasties' was written by Sharon Werner who successfully mixes the art of typography and design into book not only for children. After seeing this, I bought the book and even when I need a good smile ... I go to this book. Amazing :)
