Each letter of the alphabet arrives with an animal attached across these 24 hardcover pages, tying two early learning tasks together in one short book. Letter, word and picture appear side by side.
Pairing the alphabet with creatures is an old technique because it works: children remember the animal, and the letter travels with the memory. The format keeps each page uncluttered, giving the letterform room to be traced by eye or finger while the picture holds interest. Twenty-four pages is short enough to read start to finish with a one-year-old and still useful to a five-year-old practising letter sounds.
Practical details:
• Full alphabet matched to an animal per letter
• 24 pages in a hardcover binding
• Uncluttered pages showing letter, word and image
• Designed for ages one through six
