A perfect book to learn your alphabet。 Great for tracing and learning common items that start with that letter。
Kristen,
Both my kids loved any books with flaps to lift starting when they were between 1 and 2。 They loved the words for each letter, especially as they started to recognize familiar objects。 My son is three now and likes to practice tracing the letters on the tracing tracks and finding letters he recognizes
Mama Bearian,
Each letter in this book is made with a cutout to allow for tracing the letter with your finger。 There are even arrows and numbers to help you know what part of the letter to trace first (as if you were writing it)。 In addition, each page has an item and phrase (like “A is for apple。”) but also a flap that reveals another item that starts with that letter。 This is a great interactive option for an alphabet book!

Copyright Date: 2011Genre: ConceptTheme: Educational, Alphabet My favorite part is the pop-outs in this book。 Each letter has two things that start with that letter and a pop-out for children to be engaged。 I think it is a fun additive for children which makes them more excited to read this book。 This is a great book for younger children who are still learning their letters。

This is a letter trace and flip book, so I would use this for alphabetic awareness and fine motor skills。 The large letters on each page shows the direction in which the child can use their finger to trace。 It also allows the child to use the flap to reveal what starts with the letter on the page。 I would ask the child to repeat the letter and ask if they know what other object starts with the letter A/B/C/etc。

A is for Apple by Georgie Birkett is a book for toddlers and preschoolers。 This is a must have book for your children's library。 Children can learn while reading this book to jump start their educational learning process。 There are many illustrative pictures in this book that use various colors so it can help with capturing their attention。 As, a teacher I would recommend this book as a start to develop your child's mind。 There are so many things you can do with this book to where skills can be A is for Apple by Georgie Birkett is a book for toddlers and preschoolers。 This is a must have book for your children's library。 Children can learn while reading this book to jump start their educational learning process。 There are many illustrative pictures in this book that use various colors so it can help with capturing their attention。 As, a teacher I would recommend this book as a start to develop your child's mind。 There are so many things you can do with this book to where skills can be simplify to help the child understand and process the information。 You can trace the letters to help improve their written skills。 It also can be used to help with pronuncation of words and sounds, this will provide basic skills for developing conversation and verbal language。 Kids can learn several begininng sounds, colors, and words all of these are basic surrounding learning skills。 kids can point to the pictures to verify their understanding。 The book provides a place and numbered directions where the child can use their finger to trace letters to help establish a interest in starting to use the skills that they need。 This is a perfect book for children who have diffculty with basic motor skills。 I would gave this book four stars because you can do so many activities with this book。 The cost of this book is reasonable and you can also get this book from the library at no cost to you。 。。。more

One of our current favorites! Our almost 2 year old is constantly bringing this book over to read。 The colors, cute drawings, size of letters, everything is great。 So glad to have it on our shelves。

Points for being a lift the flap book and I dig the big letters with arrows to trace the outline to help teach letter writing, but the artwork is painfully uninspired。 It’s like frozen milk for dessert instead of ice cream。 Bebe likes this one fine, but Dad's a little bored with it。 Points for being a lift the flap book and I dig the big letters with arrows to trace the outline to help teach letter writing, but the artwork is painfully uninspired。 It’s like frozen milk for dessert instead of ice cream。 Bebe likes this one fine, but Dad's a little bored with it。 。。。more

Love that this has grooves for my son to trace his letters He loves that there are flaps to lift。 It’s a win-win

Cute。 Babies in my experience love peek-a-book books where there's a picture hiding behind the tabs。 However, the first thing both of my babies have done is rip one of the tabs off。 These types of books just don't hold up well。 Cute。 Babies in my experience love peek-a-book books where there's a picture hiding behind the tabs。 However, the first thing both of my babies have done is rip one of the tabs off。 These types of books just don't hold up well。 。。。more

I enjoyed this book because it helps children to learn the alphabet but it is also interactive。 It allows children to trace the letters in the book on tracks。 It also shows children words that begin with each letter。

Good word association choices to correspond with each letter。。 flaps to open may be torn or bent by child without adult supervision, though。 Artistic content is dull。
Bridgette Elston,
Each letter has two examples and arrows on how to draw/trace it。 add in flaps and it's a huge hit! Each letter has two examples and arrows on how to draw/trace it。 add in flaps and it's a huge hit! 。。。more

Another book Eddie got for Christmas。 He's only 1。5 but he's a big fan of "flap" books (like "Dear Zoo")。 It's a little early for reading and writing letters but he's starting to say the words。 I'm hoping if we continue to trace the letters and say the words together, it may help him with his ABC's later on。*Note: Eddie is growing up in Japan so he primarily hears and learns Japanese at daycare。 Another book Eddie got for Christmas。 He's only 1。5 but he's a big fan of "flap" books (like "Dear Zoo")。 It's a little early for reading and writing letters but he's starting to say the words。 I'm hoping if we continue to trace the letters and say the words together, it may help him with his ABC's later on。*Note: Eddie is growing up in Japan so he primarily hears and learns Japanese at daycare。 。。。more
Nick,
I really want to subtract a star because although X is for xylophone, a glockenspiel is pictured。 Xylo。 Right there in the name。 Made of wood。 That thing is clearly the Fisher-Price "Xylophone" (which is also mislabeled)。Also B is for bee? Really? I mean, it's a nice illustration, but maybe "blueberry" or something。 I really want to subtract a star because although X is for xylophone, a glockenspiel is pictured。 Xylo。 Right there in the name。 Made of wood。 That thing is clearly the Fisher-Price "Xylophone" (which is also mislabeled)。Also B is for bee?

This book is fun, bright and colorful。 It is an engaing way for children to learn the alphabet as they can run their fingers along the letters。 That also prepares the children to learn to write the letters。

We can't go past a shelf of books at the store, garage sale or even get in the car without a book or car in her hands。 Recently I introduced Gianna (18 months) to Flap Books。 She already enjoys Touchy Feely Books & so this book is a great fit for her。 I had actually seen this book at Walmart about a week ago but didn't purchase it at the time because I was thinking she wasn't ready for "writing"。 Yesterday we saw this book at Target and of course "G" latched onto it。 Each individual page is dedi We can't go past a shelf of books at the store, garage sale or even get in the car without a book or car in her hands。 Recently I introduced Gianna (18 months) to Flap Books。 She already enjoys Touchy Feely Books & so this book is a great fit for her。 I had actually seen this book at Walmart about a week ago but didn't purchase it at the time because I was thinking she wasn't ready for "writing"。 Yesterday we saw this book at Target and of course "G" latched onto it。 Each individual page is dedicated toward 1 letter and shows pictures of objects that start with that letter。 So, C is for Cat (flip the flap and find a Car), A is for Apple (flip the flap and find an ant)。 One of the things I liked was that each letter is a grooved letter and each shows arrows so children can properly learn the correct way to write a letter。 This is the way kids are taught to write their letters in school and now we can reinforce it at home or preschool。 We have already been using our pointer finger to help us count the birds in our counting book so it was nice to extend that skill into "writing" our letters。Read the rest of my review @ http://givingnsharing。blogspot。com/20。。。 。。。more

My mother bought this for my toddler for Christmas and she loves it。 It has flaps to hold her interest and she is learning the alphabet。 Eventually she could learn to trace the letters。 Super cute baby book。

"Interactive alphabet book with tracks to trace and flaps to flip。" A reader may run their finger along the numbered tracks to make the letter。 There is a picture that matches the letter and a flap that when flipped, has another picture for that letter。 "Interactive alphabet book with tracks to trace and flaps to flip。" A reader may run their finger along the numbered tracks to make the letter。 There is a picture that matches the letter and a flap that when flipped, has another picture for that letter。 。。。more
Leah,
This concept board book goes through the alphabet。 For each letter you have a spot to trace the letter with your finger and then there is a flap with another object that goes with the letter。 The sounds are mainly the same except for the letters that are hard to match sounds like y and X。 Recommended age 0-5Reading Level prek-k

Elizabeth,
Good。 I just wish you could trace both uppercase *and* lowercase。 Not having the lowercase took 2 stars off for me。
Christopher,
Super fun to be able to trace my fingers through the letters as Mommy reads to me!
