It was the perfect time for my daughter and I to read this book. We've been working on the alphabet a lot recently (she's almost got it down!) so we were really happy to read this. This book makes learning the alphabet fun. The letters are brought to life with very colorful and creative illustrations. Along with each illustration, there is a little rhyme that goes along with it that explains how to write the letters. I think this is very helpful when learning and memorizing. I still remember rhymes that I was taught when I was a youngster. 8x8 is 64, shut your mouth and say no more! I think this book is a really fun tool to use if you're working with a child on learning or writing the letters of the alphabet. Get your kids excited about learning! We are waiting to meet the lowercase letters now! I actually wish I had found this book while my children were younger. It turns the alphabet learning lessons into a fun, creative way at looking at each letter. I have no doubt this book would have helped our son learn his alphabet with less stress. He has developmental disabilities and achieves his best learning through creative and artistic means -this book totally fits the bill. This would be a great addition to any preschool/kindergarten classroom. As an example - H Happily hops on 2 stilts, tall and straight. She holds on in the middle and has a strange gait. This book is an excellent example of creative and imaginative teaching methods. I am a mom to 6 kids, and was a teacher for 32 years. I have a BA in early childhood and elementary education, and an MA in education and reading. I know what children need, to develop into readers.The clever rhymes in this book, incorporate words that start with the letter, including verbs that tell what each letter does.The rhymes must have taken a lot of thought from the author. I am very impressed! I like how the letters are personified, and both genders are alternatively used! The detailed illustrations are adorable, and kids will later visualize the pages in their minds, making recognition of the letters, faster! The combination of visual and auditory learning is brilliant! Here is an example: ""K-Kite"" ""With her right arm stretched up, K can fly her kite high. Her right leg sticks forward, for balance, that's why."" Kids and adults will delight in this book, and could spend hours looking at it, and learning from it. The author gives amazing ideas and tips in the introduction, for adults to help children use the book to its fullest. Then more information is shown at the back, for promoting early literacy! I love the ideas and activities given, for creative play, and conversations about the alphabet. This book about the capital letters is very special, and very important for homes and classrooms! My twins loved this alphabet book! Such a wonderful way to teach the capital letters in a fun and engaging way. The rhyme and meter provides a lyrical method to encourage early literacy! Will definitely recommend this book to other little learners. The author did such a great job creating educational activities to summarize the read. Parent approved! Would be a brilliant preschool book for teachers and classrooms too!
