Alphadoodler
First published in Polish in 2014 as TYPOGRYZMOL by Wydawnictwo Dwie Siostry.
Watch letters of the alphabet come to life in this hugely imaginative scribble book by Polish graphic designer Jan Bajtlik. Alphadoodler invites children to play with typography, using well-known letterforms to create creepy-crawlies, impossible skyscrapers, a crocodile's toothy grin, and even ghost letters with toothpaste.
Packed full of activities for children to draw, scribble, cut, colour, glue, paint, and design, Alphadoodler sees letters camouflaged in a messy bedroom, skiing down a mountain, growing leaves, and leaving the reader pondering: Is an O an octopus without tentacles, or an elephant without a trunk?
In this entertaining and electrifying book, letters bend, break, hide, and slide to become something truly larger than life.
