Beyond the spell of written words

A hidden land of beasts and birds . . .

Animalia is a book like no other. Abounding with fanciful, gorgeously detailed art, it is an alphabet book, a guessing game, and a virtual feast for the eyes. Each page features one letter and images related to that letter—as well as a hidden picture of Graeme Base as a child! Animalia will entrance any child or adult who enters its fantastical world.

“A tongue-twisting menagerie . . . [in] a perfectly delightful alphabet book.”—Charles Gibson, Good Morning America

There is a written note to the person who received this book as a present.

Please see all pictures for they are part of the description

I would say that this FIRST EDITION CLASSIC BOOK it is in good vintage condition .The Dust cove is gone and the binding loss but this does not in anyway effect the contents of this book.The pictures-illustrations are just as bright in color and classic in design as when it was written in 1986.All the words in the book are all in great shape and in large print.

I took the condition of the book and slashed the price for This First Edition book in half. I was able to find only one First Edition and it cost $60.00

No marks or ripes in any of the pages
