As I know Rob Saunders, whose Picture Book Studio published this book, I asked him who did the type selection and arrangement. He said it was himself and Michael Neugebauer (who designed Litera). I have updated the designer credit.
Fantastic! I read this book to my kids all the time, and every time I read it, I question what typeface is being used. 'Is it just a customized ITC Avant Garde?', I often wonder.
Then I came to the site today…and there was the answer right there in this post. Great post.
