 “Dreamy colored pencil illustrations elevate this alphabet book to a work of art….depicted in meticulous detail within illustrations that will enchant adults and children alike.”—Foreword★ Starred Review
“A menagerie of merry and meticulously embellished animals mingles with witty wordsmithing and a whimsical search-and-find component to create an extravagant abecedary for an extensive audience in Sylvie Daigneault's glorious, oversized picture book, The Imaginary Alphabet.…Its artwork feels elegant and spacious while sustaining a fanciful tone with childish appeal. Its limited lexicon is sophisticated enough to satisfy linguists while still approachable for its intended audience of early and emerging readers. Animal lovers and I Spy series enthusiasts, especially those who appreciate elaborate detail in picture book art, should find special joy in perusing these pages. This ornate, alliterative, and interactive alphabetical adventure invites discovery as it delights admirers with its eccentric animal reveries. This is a dreamy addition to personal shelves and library collections.”— Shelf Awareness, Maximum Shelf


“An alliterative animal abecedarium for avid apprentices. This whimsical yet elegant alphabet book unfolds in a series of 26 vignettes. Daigneault crafts scenes bursting with opportunity for further exploration…. Fun with phonics.”— Kirkus Reviews
