Gone Wild

An Endangered Animal Alphabet

David McLimans

Readers of all ages will be delighted with award-winning David McLimans’ first picture book. Gone Wild, a bold visual tour of the earth’s most vulnerable creatures, will appeal to young children learning their letters; older children wanting to learn about endangered animals; environmentalists; and art book and ABC book collectors.

Gone Wild is a stunning visual treat that transforms each letter of the alphabet into a graphic depiction of an endangered animal, with striking black-and-white illustrations that incorporate an animal’s features into a recognizable letter shape. The informative backmatter teaches children about rare creatures—such as the spotted owl and the snow leopard—and about the threats to their survival.

David McLimans’ (U.S.) work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Harper’s and Time. The numerous awards he has received for his editorial illustration include the Award of Excellence from the Society of Newspaper Designers and the Certificate of Excellence from Print Magazine. This is his first picture book.
