A Great Book for Fun and Education! (A review of "It Starts with A")

This is just a wonderful book for young children. There are interesting pictures for the really young, a little bit of poetry for all, and a mind teasing game for older children. Examples: "You travel in this. It begins with an A. It starts on the ground, then flies up, up, away!" (airplane) "This is a candy that comes on a stick. It starts with an L, and it's fun to lick." (lollipop) My 5 year-old really likes this book, and I like that she has to think for a moment before coming up with the answer. My only recommendation would be to have a 3x5 card at hand. Each page, with it's riddle, has four pictures. The last picture shows the answer. We had more fun (and it was more educational) when we hid that last picture. Four Stars. Its a cute alphabet book for toddlers, and a great fun, `thinking' book for kindergarteners.

My child loves this book!

We originally borrowed this book from the library or I should say my child borrowed the book--she picked it up from the shelves by herself. We bought the book the next day! My child is four years old and she loves this book! We read this book at bedtime at least four times a week.The illustrations are colorful and fun, having no problem engaging my child visually. The rhymes accompanying each letter is fun to read and my child has memorized all of them. This is great book to have in your home library under the "learning the alphabet" category. Purchase it when you find it!
