My Animalia book is out in the garage and it is only 5AM, but I will try
to remember to check it out this morning before I go to school. It is a
wonderful book! Victoria has a picture book museum where people can go
and see original art work from picture books. The first time I went
there, Graeme Base had a page from Animalia. When he draws he starts at
one corner and works his way across. Look at the picture with the
giraffe (I think!) His head is outside of the frame. That is because
Graeme started from the bottom of the page and ran out of room by the
time he got to the top! He was also overseas at the time he was making
the book and had to keep mailing the pictures to his publisher. The
originals are quite large.
Another book you might be interested in is Whatley's Quest by Bruce
Whatley and Rosie Smith. This is what they said about the book:
When we created Whatley's Quest we spent many hours pouring over a
dictionary and found many different kinds of words to include in it and
then enjoyed hiding them in the illustrations. Look out for the hidden
letter on each page, some will be easy to find, but others will be
difficult
"Attacking ants affect Archer's aimed arrow but it bounces off Big Brown
Bear and catches on the curve of Camel's crystal ball."
"The gorilla gazing glumly on the globe because the fox has filched a
fragment of his map."

Subject: Target: Animalia lesson
My ESL/BSI teacher asked me to find out from anyone out there. She is
reading the book Animalia by Graeme Base with the kids. They are
practicing their alliteration skills and within each page there are many
pictures hidden in the illustration using the same letter. The problem
is
that she doesn't know what some of these pictures are. Does anyone know
where she could find a list of the hidden pictures in the book?
Thanks very much.
