Customer Reviews

Learning the Letters.

This is an entertaining alphabet book that does more than help children learn the ABC's. It also helps in increasing their vocabulary and understanding of the world. The pictures in the book look like paper cut outs pasted upon the page. Each page is filled with lots of things that start with the letter of the page. For example everything from apples to armadillos to acorns are pictured and labeled on the "A" page. At the bottom of each page is a question and an illustration that can be answered by careful examining the items listed above. For example, on the "D" page the question is "Why should Dog and Duck duck?" (the answer is dynamite). Kids enjoy looking at this book and it's fun to read to children on a one-on-one basis.
