A to Z through the world's most overlooked creatures — drawn in earthy beiges, sage greens, and soft blues with the care of a natural history illustration.
From the acorn weevil and brimstone butterflies to stag beetles, underwing moths, and creatures most adults have never learned to name, this insect alphabet runs the full A to Z through the small world that most children walk straight past — and a few remarkable ones do not.
Hand-illustrated by me, Carolyn Rouse, in my Somerset studio. Every creature was chosen because it belongs to something genuinely worth knowing about. The palette is quiet and considered, which makes this an unusual choice for a nursery wall — and precisely the kind of print that looks better in real life than in a photograph.
Add a name to make it theirs Choose the personalised option at checkout and I'll add your child's name above the alphabet. It makes a thoughtful new baby gift or birthday present — the kind people keep long after the child can name every insect on the wall.
