I did a story hour project for my Children's Literature class and this is one of the books I read to them. They really enjoyed it because it kept them guessing what the letters stood for. This book helps the child to expand their imagination because this book is not the usual alphabet books that says "A is for Apple". This book expands that horizon by incorporating the sounds the animals make. I would recommend this book to anyone.
This is a very nice book for preschoolers or kindergartners which is no doubt why it was on my entering kindergartner's Summer Reading List.A typical example of the book's mental puzzles would be : "D is for Mole".Why?"Because a Mole Digs"Want another example?"G is for HorseWhy?Because a Horse Gallops"Pretty funny kindergartner stuff. And this pretty much exemplifies how the rest of the book runs. With the exception of a few choices that deal with digging, galloping and flying; most of the questions are answered by the sound that an animal makes.Four Stars. Very good brain enhancing (educational) material that will make most kids stop and think if only for a momentPam T~mom and reviewer for BooksForKids-reviews
Children love the riddle format of this guessing game book. In the course of reading, they learn about letters and sounds, questions and answers, and predicting and confirming. After reading the book, children enjoy writing and illustrating their own alphabet riddle books. This book always earns a "Read it again!" response.
My grandson, almost 3, loves this book! He quickly caught on to the idea of how a letter could be related to something that doesn't even start with that letter. The text is repetitive and organized on the page in the same fashion for each letter which encourages an early reader to quickly become successful in adding this book to those he/she can read alone. The alphabet is out of order which can help a child who is not yet recognizing the letters out of order. It is a fun book and just the right size for little hands to hold.
I liked it because it is a good guessing book. My friend Jack (5 years old)liked it too. But my 3-year old sister, Catherine, was confused by it.
The book is very cute but it did sort of confuse the preschoolers I read it to. They thought it was funny but may have been better to read to older kids who were more secure in their understanding of phonics and the alphabet.
My daughter is now 24 and she still has her copy of Q is for Duck she has had since she was 2. She had the book memorized when she was 2 and we had to read book every day for as long as I remember. She kept her copy for her children. I now want all my grandchildren to enjoy this excellent book.
I used this book as a read aloud in my first grade class. It is great for inferenceing! Although, it could be confusing for the students who do not yet have a solid grasp on letter i.d. and sounds. All students found it entertaining!
