As an additional challenge, the author has hidden a picture of himself as a child in every picture. The illustrations contain many other objects beginning with that letter that the reader can try to identify (however, there are not necessarily "a thousand things, or maybe more", as the author states). Each illustration features an animal from the animal kingdom (A is for alligator and armadillo, B is for butterfly, etc.) along with a short poem utilizing the letter of the page for many of the words. Synopsis Īnimalia is an alliterative alphabet book and contains 26 illustrations, one for each letter of the alphabet.
