Anything but a Grabooberry uses typography in a radical way. Imaginative typeplay vividly illustrates this absurd nonsense verse—as letters change shape and texture to create the word and tell a story. An ideal early reader, the book helps children decipher words as puzzles. Its pioneering use of graphic design in a children’s book is bound to appeal to graphic designers and book collectors as much as to children.
