Might be Animalia by Graeme Base
It’s been a while since I looked at it but it was beautiful alphabetical splashes of animals and his books have puzzles and hidden details to find.

For anyone looking. I went to the Bungie store to buy one and the shipping was 18 bucks alone. Went on Amazon and found this one which says it will be available Oct 4th. for $10. just FYI.
There is a D&D numbers book and alphabet book

There are a whole slew of kid friendly d&d books and games for kids if you're willing to do some sleuthing and go down that rabbit hole.
Find this book at the library- my youngest loved it! ALL about where garbage goes & garbage trucks.
A board book, or a box set of them if your budget allows. Board books have heavy cardboard pages so toddlers can't tear them up.
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom introduces the alphabet to toddlers in a fun way and it's a blast to read so adults don't get tired of it.
I bought my kids the ABC's of D&D and the 1,2,3's of D&D. My daughter actually picks them to read at bedtime sometimes.
ABC3D. I’m sure it’s meant for teaching children the ABCs but I just liked the really cool way each of the letters were done.
>Reading really isn’t your thing, is it? I don’t mean that to be snarky… like, it’s really bad.
Insults! The hallmark of a great argument!
>CRT, as a class or as a premise, isn’t being taught in schools. It just isn’t.
Clutch argument. Who could possible counter that?
>I even came back with a direct quote from the article, which was citing the governor’s office on his first executive order… which directly says, and I quote, “ending the use of divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory”.
Now quote the part where a "divisive concept" can only be actualized in the form of a formal class? Pretty sure "the concepts" are what's being taught, not in any CRT class, and that's what we're balking at.
>Now, just a small smidgen if reading comprehension would show us that that sentence says that the state of Virginia’s governor considers Critical Race Theory to be a divisive concept that is currently being included in the DoE’s curriculum and wishes it to stop.
That's a big woof. If there was ever a pot calling a kettle black....
>Can you even describe what CRT is and how exactly it’s being implemented in K12 schools?
Sure. It's the idea that there are implicitly racist elements built into our system and that it enables an oppressor/oppressed dynamic that inherently benefits white people in America. It carries on to say that since we live in this system we experience inherent privileges based on our races.
In schools that turns into books like A is for Activist making it onto elementary library shelves, teacher groups targeting youth based on identity for clubs, cultural centers popping up that are meant to safe spaces for youth, messaging in classes that insisting on white kids being privileged based their skin color, and so on and so forth.
I havent watched it either, my wife babysits more than i do and doesnt make the kids watch ghibli films like i do but she says shes not a fan, i get the impression its more cuz its annoying than for social justice reasons, but yeah still. But our family is pretty diverse, most of the kids are various mixed races and in terms of copaganda, i think paw patrol at a young age is pretty light. But i leave that up to the parents, and theyre the ones who requested it in the first place, so...
We keep giving this book for baby showers tho. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/1609805399/
I just give the people what they want. Except no Kardashians and no BBT. Only rules.
Not that my horse is very high, i have >70 movies with 'Shark' in the title.
One thing I did was ask my mom to investigate and purchase some books that had non-white people in them. She did a great job and we have a bunch that I haven’t even read through yet!
Otherwise, my personal favorite board book we have is called “Grumpy Monkey”, and I’m also getting a real kick out of The ABCs of D&D, which I recommend for any fellow nerd parents haha.
Such a great idea, I’d love to see a DnD inspired nursery! We just got these 2 books for our LO and I can’t wait to read them to her:
ABCs of D&D (Dungeons & Dragons Children's Book) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0786966661/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kX1LFbFAKTDM9
123s of D&D (Dungeons & Dragons Children's Book) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0786966688/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_4X1LFbZWY3K9G
Daughter is two, she already likes rolling dice. And we read DND ABCs
We're not in the financial crash yet. Obviously you need to read a book on popular movements in the 20th century. Or any book for that matter. I recommend starting with this

Cool! Thanks for posting this!
All three of my boys LOVED the book "I Stink!". Even after having read it over 687,310 times to each of the three boys...I still have a soft spot for it.
Any females doing the job? My guess the answer would be no, otherwise your rad sticker job (I'm a skater) would disappear.
Thank you for doing this job, after spending time overseas while in the military I appreciate our amazing sanitation workers more than most.
You would love the book Animalia. Love yours :) The Grown up version and VERY well done :)
