A hugely entertaining animal ABC guessing game with peep-through
pages and amazing fold-out flaps, by the bestselling Julia
Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo, and award-winning illustrator
Sharon King-Chai. With eye-catching artwork and an exotic array of
animals to marvel over, this is a gorgeous book to treasure and
read over and over again - can you guess who has more legs than a
butterfly? And who is wrinklier than a hedgehog? Each page draws
you further into a beautifully vibrant world of huge elephants,
slithery snakes and growling tigers, inviting you to compare one
animal to another and learn comparison words and adjectives from
the natural world. Sharon King-Chai's brightly colourful art and
the cleverly designed shaped pages make Animalphabet a rich
delight, while Julia Donaldson's rhythmic words are a pleasure to
read aloud. Shortlisted for the D&AD Awards 2019 and the winner
of the Chen Bochui International Children's Literature Award.
Reynard - a subversive, dashing, anarchic, aristocratic, witty fox
from the watery lowlands of medieval East Flanders - is in trouble.
He has been summoned to the court of King Noble the Lion, charged
with all manner of crimes and misdemeanours. How will he pit his
wits against his accusers - greedy Bruin the Bear, pretentious
Courtoys the Hound or dark and dangerous Isengrim the Wolf - to
escape the gallows? Reynard was once the most popular and beloved
character in European folklore, as familiar as Robin Hood, King
Arthur or Cinderella. His character spoke eloquently for the
unvoiced and disenfranchised, but also amused and delighted the
elite, capturing hearts and minds across borders and societal
classes for centuries. Based on William Caxton's bestselling 1481
English translation of the Middle Dutch, but expanded with new
interpretations, innovative language and characterisation, this
edition is an imaginative retelling of the Reynard story. With its
themes of protest, resistance and duplicity fronted by a
personable, anti-heroic Fox making his way in a dangerous and cruel
world, this gripping tale is as relevant and controversial today as
it was in the fifteenth century.
