JonArno Lawson, addict of wordplay and lover of children's poetry, has created a collection of lipograms written for children. The idea behind "A Voweller's Bestiary" is a simple one: an alphabet book based on vowel combinations, rather than on initial letters. This is vowel language applied to the animal kingdom. |

| Publisher Description: An exquisite use of, and exploration of language, JonArno Lawson's A Voweller's Bestiary, is a lipogram in fine form. This book offers a fanciful look into the animal kingdom. The wonderful use of language, and exploration of the animal kingdom are sure to make this a children's favourite. An alphabet book in a non-traditional sense (by making use of vowel combinations, rather than focusing on initial letters), Lawson demonstrates for children, and readers of all ages, the depth, fun and excitement to be found in language. |
