Suse MacDonald’s first children’s book, Alphabetics won the Caldecott Award-and jump-started her career as one of the 20th Century’s most inventive and innovative author/ illustrators in the world of children’s book publishing. Since 1986, Suse has written and/or illustrated 18 books, with many more to come.

Launched in 2008 under Simon & Schuster’s Little Simon imprint, Alphabet Animals joins a long and colorful parade of books written by Suse MacDonald. A great pleasure for Suse is in encouraging readers to go beyond their usual stopping points and make their own artistic discoveries. “Children are inventors,” she believes. “They just need situations that bring out that quality of inventiveness.” In books like Alphabet Animals, she creates those opportunities—and our licensing partners can too.

 
 
 
 

 

In this innovative book, animals take the shapes of all the letters in the alphabet! From an alligator to a zebra, each animal represents a different letter—but what could that letter be? To find the answer, children can pull a page from a pocket and see the letter and the animal's name. This fun “slide and peek” format is perfect for children 2-5 who are becoming familiar with and learning the phonetics of the alphabet. Children will learn their ABCs while being exposed to a wide array of animals. Parents and kids alike will delight in Suse MacDonald's unique, cut-paper, collage-style artwork.
