Wild Animals

This sturdy board book is meant for toddlers and for adults who value clean, graphic design. It condenses a much larger picture book called Animals, created by the designer Ingela P. Arrhenius, and keeps only the wild creatures from that original. Readers meet a set of stylized animals, among them a crocodile with a broad smile, a tall flamingo, a lively meerkat, and a plump hippo.

Each animal appears in a retro-style illustration with its name printed in a bold, striking lettering. The smaller, child-sized format makes the pages easy for little hands to handle while keeping the bold artwork of the original.

The book works as a first introduction to animal names and shapes, and it could also serve as a gift for families who enjoy modern illustration.
