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. Subsequently,
he thought they might entertain his sister's grandchildren, or indeed
anyone else's, especially if they (the verses, that is) were accompanied
by illustrations. 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.
