Animalia by Graeme Base is an alphabet picture book where lions hang out in libraries, iguanas improvise, and dragons eat delicious desserts. Author/ Illustrator Graeme Base includes intricate pictures to go along with his alphabet-inspired animal scenarios, which include tons of detail, and loads of items to look out for (including images of Base as a child). This book is very good for the imagination, as anything is made possible within its pages!
This book would work well with an exercised aimed at teaching students the alphabet, or how to use their imagination. In asking the class to work together to form their own alphabet book, this piece of literature could serve as the base for a very fun exercise, which may turn in to a month-long class project!
