In celebration of A Week, the alphabet and ABC books everywhere

Did you ever notice that letters don’t always look the same?

“Blocky or small. Thick or tall. Roundish, slope-y, Fancy, or dopey. Letters look different in all different places, That’s because they have different typefaces!” With an alligator made of aaa’s—to a zebra made of zzz’s, alphabeasties uses a multitude of typefaces to create a beautiful and creative ABC book.

This book teaches it’s readers, big or small, about the world of typography and the design of different fonts and letters. Adults and children will both be engaged with the ingenuity as you are able to lift the flaps to reveal the different “beasties” that correspond to particular letters of the alphabet.

The alphabethas never been more interesting! Welcome to the world of fonts!
