A to Z Animal Alphabet by Rich DiSilvio is a children's picture book that uses rhyme and visual prompts to aid in the development of learning the ABC's. DiSilvio, who is both the author and illustrator, employs life-like photographic three-dimensional graphics with bold, primary colors. Each letter is depicted in three different ways across two full pages, first presenting the letter in both capital and lowercase form in the corner. Within an attached box DiSilvio has a short, child-friendly rhyme that includes the animal presented and uses intensifier bolding of the letter within the verse. Finally on the whole of the connected page is a large construct of the letter itself with the animal described incorporated in its layout that matches its preceding rhyme.

A to Z Animal Alphabet is a fun little book. I was particularly impressed with the three-dimensional graphic that Rich DiSilvio has created, and my daughter squealed and jokingly threw the comforter over her head when the mice and rattlesnake came up. It resulted in some genuine giggles and in my mind that's the barometer for a bedtime reading that does its job. The animal depiction that was a standout was the Heron for H which is absolutely gorgeous in its integration into the letter. From a literary standpoint, occasionally a word is used that feels like it was picked for lack of a better word with a similar sound. Still, overall and with the assistance of a parent and a child who loves to read and learn with the same enthusiasm as my little ones, I think this book will tick all of the boxes and conjure up some broad smiles.
