      Are you baffled by the word "axolotl"? Do the words "unau" and "vicuña" mean nothing to you? If so, this book will enlighten you, and thanks to the illustrations, give you an idea of what they look like. It may also alert you, if you need alerting, to the threat to the existence of many species brought about by human activity.The author wrote the verses originally to humour himself in the midst of the Covid pandemic, when he was obliged to self-isolate.

It is the author's hope, however, that the book will appeal to young and old alike. If the verses don't make you laugh or at least smile, the illustrations by Dave F. Smith should.Oh, and by the way, just in case you don't know your alphabet, this book will provide you with ample opportunities to learn it.
