I love this colorful, fun-sounding adventure to read to my 2-year old in effort to help her learn her letters!!! She loves the sounds, the colors and we have fun trying to identify the objects in each page that start with the letter featured. Great job, Adam F. Watkins, this is a fantastic color alphabet book for kids!!!!
I have a toddler and preschooler who are both at different stages of learning the alphabet ( sound association vs. letter recognition) and this book was a perfect read aloud for both of them. The illustrations are simple enough they don't distract from the actual letters. Each page also has a hidden object that begins with that letter such as a snail on the s page, and my preschooler enjoyed finding each of these. Unlike other reviewers I don't mind the lack of text, it allows me to tell my kids a different story each time we read and give them a chance to use their imaginations and focus on the letters. The robots are also quirky and fun, both kids loved the illustrations.
I have a 5 year old boy and a two year old girl and they both love this book, especially the two year old! After a couple of reads she had it memorized and she gets such a kick out of the fun sounds that the robots make. It's a very fun way to review the letters. As an adult I also enjoy it because it's clever!
Both of my kids (18 mo and 3) love this book. The letters are very vibrant and draw the eye- great for my little one working on letter recognition. The sounds each letter represents are clever and many times funny. My three-year-old loved the fart sound, ooze and explode especially. There was no story, nor much text, but that made my toddler like it even more, he told me what was happening in each picture himself after I made the appropriate (or inappropriate) noise. The last couple pages are the letters all together- a great chance to sing the ABC song and review the letters all together and a really beautiful page! Robots are featured making each noise which was also a huge bonus for my family!
Great book for all kids but especially those in preschool or kindergarten. This book has helped my soon to be kindergartener practice her letter sounds without effort. Also great for boys who may not be interested in reading because the illustrations are so captivating and colorful they draw the attention of all kids! !!!
What a great book for kids to learn their alphabet and have fun with the fantastic robot illustrations. Adam Watkins has really captured the essence of what it takes to educate the youngsters in todays world.
I love this book. The pictures are very creative. There are not a lot of words, but the other reviewer is right...there are lots of things to discuss on each page in order to create a story. You can also look on each page for a hidden object that starts with the chosen letter. I just wish they would turn it into a board book!!
A nicely illustrated book with a pleasing and simple layout and pictures. I do wish there were 'actual' words that could be learned and even simple text to be read. Every letter has accompanying sounds, which is fine, but you aren't left with much of anything at all to read to your children.I much prefer something along the lines of van Allsburg's 'How the Z Was Zapped.' Not only was it beautifully illustrated, but there were enough words and simple sentences to keep young and old entertained/engrossed.
