Amazon ABC - ABC or Counting Picture Book

Amazon ABC, by Kathy Darling with pictures by Tara Darling included some strange animals! Some of them included hoatzin, tapir, and egret. I realize that the point is that these animals are from the rain forest, but some of these animals' names were also hard to pronounce. I thought that it would be a good book for students learning about the rain forest or about different animals, but not for students trying to learn their ABCs. The back of the book had some information about the rainforest and then about each animal mentioned. It was a cute book but I probably wouldn't have it in my classroom unless I was doing a unit on the rainforest.
