Customer Reviews

Great book

This was a fun book to use with my daughter when she was learning her letters. It gave me lots of creative things to do for all the letters and my daughter loved doing all the crafts. We ended up tracing all the letters and decorating them as suggested and put them along the wall of the playroom. My younger son now always points to them on the wall and tries to sing his ABC's. I would definitely recommend it! It's a great, fun learning tool.

Great source for an Early Childhood Curriculum

Great source for an Early Childhood Curriculum. This book gave me wonderful ideas on every letter of the alphabet. This book helped me plan lessonsfor my home toddler daycare. This book is a MUST HAVE for home daycare providers and home schooling parents.

The Terrible Twos are not so terrible!

I obsessed over this book wile I was pregnant and finally bought it for my daughter's second birthday (it was really for me). She's 2 and half and, although she isn't coordinated enough to really do a whole lot on her own, we have great fun with this book. She pulls it down from the bookshelf herself and looks through it. The illustrations are great and the instructions are easy enough for an adult to follow. I delegate the gluing and some coloring to her and we discuss shapes and colors--as well as letters and numbers-- while assembling the pieces. While not all (but most) of the materials are easily found around the house, I have found the ones that aren't in dollar and discount stores for next to nothing. She loves watching ordinary household items like an empty toilet paper roll transform into an alligator with some tape, a marker, scissors, green paper and glue. Her eyes light up like I'm performing magic. I have read, in teachers' journals and the like, that children retain information better when it is presented in a way that emotionally impacts them. For myself and my child, this book was well worth it, and I intend to look into some other titles by this author and from Williamson. Publishing.

This is an excellent preschool book! The kids love it!

Each letter has specific crafts, tracings, writings, etc. It is a great learning tool. I have found it to be the best book for dealing with the alphabet.

The best craft book to teach the ABCs

My kids (ages 2 and 4) absolutely love the crafts suggested in this book. They were able to do most of the crafts themselves without difficulty. There was a pattern to the activities that they both also enjoyed.
