1) Hardcover Book Gone Wild (Caldecott Honor Book) by Walker Books for Young Readers. David McLimans, Gone Wild: An Endangered Animal Alphabet (Walker and Company, 2006)

While I admire the sentiment behind David McLimans´ first childrens´ book, I have to wonder at how up-to-date his information is. I wouldn´t have thought to question it had he not brought up the spotted owl, that hoary old symbol of endangered species, which McLimans is quick to say is still in decline. This hasn´t been true for the past decade. This makes me wonder how many of the other species in this book are now protected.

Not that the kiddies will think about this.They will see McLimans´ wonderful drawings and read about nifty, obscure animals. That sort of thing was borderline magic when I was a kid; second only in my estimation to books about dinosaurs. So, yeah, you want to go through this one with your kid, because the kid will love it; once the kid´s older, though, prepare for some talks about propaganda. ***¤

2) Hardcover Book Gone Wild (Caldecott Honor Book) by Walker Books for Young Readers. My 16 months old really enjoyed the book. She likes the graphics - which is done in black and white. We adults enjoyed the actual reading portion. The information is very educational. I can see my baby reading this book with a different perspective when she is older.¤

3) Hardcover Book Gone Wild (Caldecott Honor Book) by Walker Books for Young Readers. A truly beautiful and creative book that reminds us of those great typography designers such as Aldus Manutius, Nicolas Jenson or Claude Garamond. My child loved discovering wild (and sadly endangered) animals through the pages of Gone Wild.¤

4) Hardcover Book Gone Wild (Caldecott Honor Book) by Walker Books for Young Readers. This book was totally uninteresting to my grandchildren. It´s a book that adults think will catch the interest of little ones and does not.¤

5) Hardcover Book Gone Wild (Caldecott Honor Book) by Walker Books for Young Readers. this is a wonderfuly illustrated book that manages to incorporate the many species of endangered animals names with the letters of the alphabet.While I bought it for my grandson(2) he is too young to appreciate it, so I have put it away for him to enjoy in the years ahead. I recommend it for the art work and for all the information that is on each page.¤

Feast your eyes on these amazing creatures before they disappear. This stampede of wild animals, from Chinese Alligator to Grevy’s Zebra, are so rare, they´re all endangered. David McLiman’s bold and playful illustrations transform each letter into a work of art, graphically rendered with animal characteristics. Scales, horns, even insect wings transform the alphabet into animated life.

Once you take this eye-opening safari, you´ll never look at letters or animals with the same way again. A striking work of art and a zoological adventure, Gone Wild is sure to be loved by children and adults alike.
