This is a brilliant visual method for introducing children to the anatomy of letterforms and relating their often unusual names to familiar parts of the body. The memorable imagery and concepts would have certainly made a lasting impression on my younger self!

Typography is at the centre of language, and this book makes typography fun for children. Children with good language skills go on to become successful adults, so I have no doubt this book will make a positive contribution to children’s literature.

This book will inform and entertain children of all ages, giving them an insight into a range of fonts, their names and characteristics. Type has a Body...Just like you! is visually appealing and plays beautifully with language through the use of alliteration and rhyme.
