Purchased this for an autistic nephew. He loves the textures. Mom and younger sister enjoy showing him the changes in texture. His younger sister has learned quick enough to point out similar textures and will identify the sofa and curtains to him by texture to animal comparison. Great gift...durable and educational on many fronts.
Using fingerprints to form the bodies of the animals really intrigued my two year old granddaughter. She loved the feel and the look of these new and interesting animals. Great visual and tactile learning experience.
Alphaprints ABC is an excellent choice if you are looking for a first alphabet book for your baby or toddler. Each letter is featured in big, easy to see print and is accompanied by an animal that starts with that letter. Whether it's G for giraffe or K for Koala, the text has a smooth, easy, and rhythmic flow that makes this a great read aloud as well as an excellent way to teach first concepts. The only thing that could have made this better is if the designer could have somehow worked in both upper and lower case letters. This is a small quibble however as this book will work best for the youngest of letter learners.The illustrations in this nicely done package are all designed around fingerprints. The body of each featured animal consists of a fingerprint, complete with raised textures for your baby or toddler to run their hands over. Animal features are often provided by photos of real life objects. The Iguana's spikes are actually crayon tips, the monkey's ears are orange slices, and the rhino's horn is a carrot! Perhaps my favorite is the squirrel tail, which is actually a very colorful feather duster. This mixed media approach is charming to say the least, and all but guarantees that his book will get lots of repeat reads.The sturdy board pages will stand up to lots of toddler love, although I will admit to some concern over a wobbly binding. Time will tell if this little gem will be sturdy enough for library use, however it is a must have for any toddler's personal library. The charming design and wonderful read aloud flow make Alphaprints ABC stand out in the alphabet crowd.
Got this book when my daughter was born and have been reading it to her almost daily for the past 10/5 months. It is her absolute FAVORITE book! I've now gifted it to other new parents who love it as well!
This book is awesome. The illustrations are gorgeous. I love how the author incorporated everyday objects and food into the pictures of the animals. I have a 1 and 2 year old and they both get a kick out of this one. My 1 year old loves the texture of the animals as well. Very fun and informative rhyming book. This is definitely a favorite of ours.
The fingerprint picture concept is great and well executed. However, I am disappointed that the author chose animals that do not represent the predominant sound for the letter, e.g., G is giraffe. Why not gorilla or goose or goat, etc? Had the author included BOTH sounds for the letters I would have been thrilled, but I do not want to teach my son G is for the "Juh" sound before he learns G is for the "guh" sound.
The book was put togethet incorrectly; our copy has two pages - S and T - that are upside down. Unusable unless you intend to teach your child incorrect print concepts. Beware Sloppy craftsmanship when you purchase.
For 2 yr old and all the textures make it fun and so interesting to see next page. A good book to reinforce letters as thepictures and textures are so fun and unexpected
