The Furry Animal Alphabet Book written and illustrated by Jerry Pallotta

This alphabet book is a menagerie of realistic illustrations and informative text. Don’t be fooled, though! The Furry Animal Book may be nonfiction, but it’s not boring. For example, did you know that golden lion marmosets only give birth to twins? Or that sloths move so slowly that they actually grow mold? The colorful artwork depicts animals in their natural environments, from the common beaver to the rare aye-aye. New readers and experienced readers alike will have fun trying to pronounce some of these unusual animals’ names.
