About this product

Product Information

Twenty-six curious creatures - from the fastidious Ampoo to the world's one and only Zote - fill the pages of The Utter Zoo, an alphabet from the untamed imagination of Edward Gorey. The Boggerslosh, the Crunk, and the Dawbis; the Ippagoggy, the Jelbislup, and the Kwongdzu; the Scrug, the Twibbit, and the Ulp - each strange and wonderful zoomate displays its own primary characteristic, described in Gorey's inimitable, droll, rhyming couplets.

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.

My item arrived quickly and it was packaged very securely. The seller communicated to me the whole way to let me know when my item was to arrive. My item came on time, and it was just as the seller described. I am very happy with my purchase, and the seller was very courteous and professional. I would definitely do business with the seller again! Cheers!!

  • Entertaining & enjoyable for all ages.

    Great introduction to Corey's illustration style & bits of wit. Would be good with early learners to learn alphabet & read with an adult.

  • Only the creative mind of Edward Gorey could produce such a great book!

    From "The Ampoo is intensely neat: Its head is small, likewise its feet" to "About the Zote what can be said? There was just one, and now it's dead" Edward Gorey is at the peak of his bizarre and wonderfully creative imagination. Gorey's fabulous words could only be surpassed by his glorious illustrations. My only regret in reading "The Utter Zoo: An Alphabet by Edward Gorey" is that there are only 26 letters in the alphabet.

  • Great for adults and children!

    Wonderful fun book :D

  • "Gorey" sums it up.

    Very grim, yet funny alphabet.
