Great for bed time reading.

This book is terrific for beginners. It stars Herry, a blue muppet. Herry is looking for something in his toy chest. Each page shows Herry pulling something out of the chest. It begins with the letter A, as Herry pulls out an accordion, and continues until every letter of the alphabet has been shown. Every page has a colorful picture that small children will enjoy as you read to them. Simple sentences accompany the illustrations to help children learn to sound out words and read. ***** This book has been around for years now and has been reprinted more than once. You may be able to find it in a used book store. However, I suggest you go ahead and purchase it new. Children love the Sesame Street's books. It WILL be read over and over. If you get it used, chances are good that you will have to get a second copy. Very educational. Highly recommended! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
