Unveiling the Book

This delightful creative board book is a fun (and educational) way to expose wee ones to the letters of the alphabet.  Combining photos of fresh fruits and vegetables with adorable illustrations of animals, Mauro Gatti has invented a whole new kind of critter!  

Turn each page to a brand new letter of the alphabet featuring a sweet animal whose name begins with that letter and simple text to help kids learn that letter, the fractured animal's name, and the food.  What a genius idea!  The author has included a food facts page at the back to explain the health benefits of each highlighted food.  The book promotes healthy eating and fresh out-of-the-produce-aisle ideas!   I love the expressions on the cartoon-style animal faces with the reality of the fruit or vegetable presented creating one-of-a-kind critter mash-ups!  Awesome! 

I know that this book will be enjoyed by both young and old as it is very unique and very clever.  Kids can learn the alphabet in Spanish and French also.  I highly recommend this innovative book with its playful and fun language.

Meet the Author

Mauro Gatti is an all-around creative guy whose work ranges from illustration to creative direction, children's books and game design. The common denominator of his portfolio is positivity, expressed through a style full of humor inspired by the illustration of the 60s and 70s. One of the projects he is most fond of is The Happy Broadcast, a counter hate and fear culture project that features weekly illustrated positive news from around the world.

He has 15+ years award-winning creative career (including a 2017 Emmy Award for Best Interactive) and he loves ideas, innovation, pizza and dogs.

Mauro currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California, where everyone surfs except him.
