Animalia. Graeme Base. 1986.

Animalia is a book like no other. Abounding with fanciful, gorgeously detailed art, it is an alphabet book, a guessing game, and a virtual feast for the eyes. Each page features one letter and images related to that letter -- as well as a hidden picture of Graeme Base as a child Animalia will entrance any child or adult who enters its fantastical world.
