It has some words that just don't make sense for little kids. G is for Gate, N is for Nest and Nuts, J is for Jet (my 2 year old reads it as "J for airplane!", H is for Hen (he reads that as "H for chicken") and the vowels are sometimes long vowels, sometimes short, and sometimes one of each. They should stick with just short vowel sounds or just long vowel sounds. I do like the letter tracing, but I do not have him follow how they form letters, which seems to always be from the top down, even for letters like "M" and "N". I much prefer the book "Trace & Learn the ABCs and have fun playing Peek-A-Boo Who?" But, maybe these are not things that would matter as much to most people.
My toddler loves this book. I found it at Costco for $4.99. Kids can trace the letters with their fingers (it has arrows to show which way to go). Then there are flaps on each page with a picture that relates to the letter on the page. It's a board book, so it's sturdy and will hold up to a lot of rough treatment by a child.
I've been reading some reviews that seem a little picky to me, but that might be because I'm reading it to my 5 month old. All I know is that she LOVES this book so I had to write a review. It's awesome having two words to talk about for each letter. We noticed she gets excited when we get the book out to read. I can understand that I might be more picky when she's older, but I think this a great book for babies who should be hearing the letters, and not too much more.
I had bought this book from a store. Its very useful for a preschooler /kids who are learning to write.Pros :# Its very simple for a preschooler to use# Its not messy unlike the ones with markers# You can teach the child by tracing with fingers or pens without refill or stylus.# The upper case letters are engraved and is wide enough for a kids finger to fit in while tracing# Its comes with 2 examples / useages for each alphabet for example "A a" --- " A " for Apple and "a" for ant . This way the child can see both cases inuse.# Its has colorful pics and is made of hard paper so no easy damage.Cons:I did not find many jus one# The lower case is not engraved , its more like a smooth print so my son tends to do the upper case only.I wish the lower case was engraved too .
Both my 3 year old and 1 year old children love this book and so do I! It's a great way to learn the alphabet. My son enjoys books in general and learned numbers very easily. However, it has been more of a challenge to help him learn the alphabet...until I bought him this book. He enjoys the pictures, peek-a-boo hidden pictures feature, and loves tracing the letters. I'm pleased since this book captures his attention well and is helping him learn the letters better than other alphabet books and flash cards that I've previously bought for him.
We first learned of this book at the library and have loved every minute of it since my son has laid eyes on it. He asks for the 'apple' book every night at bedtime. It's easy to follow, has flip tabs so he can interact with it and teaches him his letter and about different things that start with that letter. It is a HIT in our house!!
Very nice book for my son, he is 3 and learning fast, this encourage him to write and read, so I recommend this book, it will just work if someone take the time to sit and teach the kid, without the supervision it will be a nice book with flaps and fun also.
This book is simply great. Every page has two examples of items that start with each letter (one behind a flap) and the letters are very clearly illustrated. Our little one likes to go through this book over and over and knows a good portion of the letters already (16 months). Should be useful too when she gets to the point of writing as there are arrows illustrating how to draw each letter as well.
