A was once an apple pie

This book covers the alphabet with lyrical poems for each letter and fun illustrations. Some choices for words won't be the best for children who don't read yet, like Lark for L (which looks like a bird and makes me think B) but the overall sing song nature of the text and lovely illustrations will engage many young readers and listeners.

Remembering My favorite book!

Grammy used to read me this book every visit. I have searched for years to bring this delight to my own three boys. Encourages early reading and poetry lasts a life time.
