Reviews"The best ABC books make you think, and the wordless ZOOPA: AN ANIMAL ALPHABET, by first-time children's book author Gianna Marino, asks a great deal of its readers." - The New York Times Book Review this lively, engaging debut, an alphabetical menagerie, drawn naturalistically but with big, expressive eyes and mobile features, gathers around (or, sometimes, in) a bowl of tomato-colored alphabet soup...A great choice for self-starters or small groups." - Kirkus Reviews "A lively choice for group or one-on-one sharing." - School Library Journal

SynopsisOpen the pages of this lively book and discover a bowl of animal alphabet soup sure to spark children's imaginations. From the tiny ant on the front endpapers to the exuberant zebra in the final spread, children will delight in the mischievous menagerie that bursts onto the table, while at the same time learning their letters and animals. Filled with imaginative details, it is a visual feast from start to finish.
With no words, just pictures, the child is supposed to locate and match the correct letter with the correct picture. However, some of the pictures are not readily known to USA children, such as Xenops, so this can be challenging for younger ones. Still, there is much to learn and enjoy in this larger size, slender, hardcover book. Recommended.
