'Within the pages of this book
'You may discover, if you look
'Beyond the spell of written words,
'A hidden land of beasts and birds.
'For many things are 'of a kind,'
'And those with keenest eyes will find
'A thousand things, or maybe more -
'It's up to you to keep the score . . .'

'Within the pages of this book, you may discover, if you look, beyond the spell of written words, a hidden land of beast and birds.
'But there's so much to find and name – Let's start off with a smaller game. Just four for now – some big, some small. Now off you go to find them all!
'Animalia was first published in 1986, immediately capturing the imagination of children and adults around the world. It has now achieved classic status with global sales of over three million copies.
'My First Animalia celebrates the magic of Animalia in a playful introductory format for the very young, specially created by Graeme Base.
'So turn the pages, lift the flaps and rediscover the world of Animalia through fresh eyes - it's the alphabet as only Graeme Base knows how!' (Publisher's blurb)
'The academics and the “mummy bloggers” are in furious agreement – reading picture books to children is one of the best things you can do for a child’s development.
It also happens to be, in the opinion of this humble author, one of the best things an adult can do for their own development. A reminder that the greatest joys in life are often the simplest.' (Introduction)
