E is for Excitement: 25 Things to See That Start With E [Large Print]
E is for Excitement is a cheerful, curiosity-driven alphabet concept book that invites young readers to explore the world through twenty-five everyday wonders beginning with the letter E. Each entry offers a simple, vivid description designed to spark recognition, build vocabulary, and encourage children to look more closely at the objects, animals, and ideas around them. The book blends nature, anatomy, food, landmarks, and feelings into a playful tour of "E-things," creating a gentle rhythm of discovery from page to page.
The journey begins with Elephant, a warm and familiar anchor that sets the tone: big, friendly, and easy to visualize. From there, the book moves to the soaring majesty of an Eagle, the quiet mystery of an Egg, and the mechanical power of an Engine, showing children that "E" words can be living, natural, or man-made. Everyday items like Envelope, Eraser, Ear, and Eye help young readers connect the letter to objects they encounter in daily life, reinforcing early literacy through recognition and repetition.
Creative and tactile entries such as Easel, Earthworm, and Earrings encourage hands-on thinking-painting, digging, decorating-while animals like Eel and Emu add a dash of surprise. The book also introduces body parts (Elbow), natural events (Eruption), and safety symbols (Exit sign), expanding a child's understanding of how language maps onto the world.
As the list continues, the book widens its scope. Evergreen tree and Ember bring in seasonal and sensory imagery, while Eggplant introduces a garden vegetable that many children may not have encountered up close. The inclusion of the Eiffel Tower adds a global touch, hinting that letters and words can take readers far beyond their own neighborhoods. Eucalyptus leaf brings scent and texture into the mix, offering a multisensory moment that contrasts nicely with the more concrete entries.
Near the end, the book shifts from objects to emotions with Excitement, giving children language for their inner experiences. Finally, it concludes with Earth, the largest and most encompassing "E" of all-a reminder that every creature, object, and idea in the book belongs to the same shared home.
Across all entries, the tone remains warm, clear, and accessible. Each definition is crafted to be easily understood by early readers while still offering enough detail to feel meaningful. The structure-one "E" word per section-creates a predictable rhythm that supports learning, while the variety of topics keeps the reading experience lively and engaging.
Ultimately, E is for Excitement functions as both a vocabulary builder and a celebration of curiosity. It encourages children to notice the extraordinary in the ordinary, to ask questions, and to feel the thrill of discovering new words. By the final page, young readers have traveled from elephants to Earth itself, guided by a letter that proves far more exciting than they may have imagined.
