I love this book for the 2-1/2 year olds and older children to teach them the alphabet in a book medium. I have been doing Child Care since 1983 and have used several curriculums for the teaching of my children. The children relate to Winnie the Pooh and recognize the alphabet letters at the same time. They get their own book. It's left in their drawer at my home and take it out at free time and go through the book at their leisure. When it is time for school work they get their own book from their drawer and we sit at the table and each child gets a turn saying the letter a loud. This teaches them responsibility of caring for books and learning how to read a book. The alphabet is just a plus. When I first came across this book I liked it because it was not complicated with text, children do not really care about. I bought it as another way for teaching the alphabet letters with Winnie the Pooh. This has worked for me since 1996. The older books did not have the American Sign Language in it. I love these newer versions because I also teach ASL in my Day Care and the children are reminded of their letters in another medium. When the children know their alphabet letters they are free to take home their book and keep it. This is a great and in-expensive reward from me to them. They value their book and accomplishments as well. This also takes the pressure off the slower learners. I am very happy with this book for my Day Care.Alice Gess, Holyoke, MA
Great early ABC book. My college degree is in Elementary Education, so I am very particular about ABC and 1-2-3 books. The letters need to look "normal" not oddly shaped or strangely colored. They also don't need to be overwhelmed by the pictures on the pages. Many ABC and 1-2-3 books have this problem - they try to "trick it up" too much. This book delivers simplicity and quality. Simple, clear letters with simple, clear pictures. Great for starting toddlers on the path to learning their letters.
Learning the alphabet is more fun when the setting is the Hundred Acre Wood. Familiar scenes from the Milne and Shepard classics introduce not only the concepts of letters and words, but also Pooh and his friends. This sturdy board book with an elegant, timeless look has been designed to attract the most discerning Pooh fans and to delight their favorite toddlers. Each page is dedicated to a letter, with obvious ones (T for Tigger) and creative ones (X for eXpedition). Each letter is accompanied by a very classic Pooh-esque picture. Quaint.
I tend to avoid what I think of as "knock off" books-- I'll buy the original Miss Spider, but not a silly "count to ten" board book with Miss Spider, and so forth. So, my initial reaction to a "Pooh" ABC book was kind of negative. However, there are not a lot of board books out there for younger children that are also ABC books and are large enough for their little hands to hold and look at the pictures. This book combined the classic book aspect that I look for in children's books, with the practicality of a pretty large board book with ABC's. If I had to criticize something, it would be that some of the pictures are not very bright in color, but that is something that you always encounter with Classic Pooh-- the illustrations are beautiful, and the colors are subdued, making them pretty, but perhaps not as engaging. Then again, I tend to think children are over-stimulated enough so soothing pictures can be nice for once. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, sturdy ABC board book.
Not a real big fan of this book. The colors are nice and peaceful; more pastel than bright and the pictures are classic Pooh. The words chosen to match the letters could be a lot better. It's just okay.
My 3yo got this book from the library and fell in love with it. So I came on here to find it, she was so happy when it came! It has the full alphabet, and lots of other signs for other words, easy to see and very sweet pictures. I would recommend this even if your child wasn't interested in ASL yet
I love the original Pooh artwork and that it doesn't overwhelm each page with information. It's hard to keep a little one's focus for reading, and I think when books cram so much on one page, it just adds to the distraction.
This is definitely a simpler ABC book. Each page just has the upper and lowercase letter one picture and one corresponding word D Dragon, etc. My biggest disappointment was that the pictures are of the classic pooh and I prefer the newer ones.
