A to Z

"Aardvark Admiring, Beavers Balooning, Cats Cleaning" I can't tell you how many times I read and sang the words as I pointed at the pictures. It's kind of sad to be packing it away, but you know, there will come a time when my girls have girls of their own and out of the box it'll come. Oh what a day that will be. This book was every bit as entertaining for my babies as the other's by Ms. Boynton, but this one served double duty, well all of her books are educational, you know. They teach toddlers colors, animals and such, but this one all the way through to "Zebra Zigzagging" helped me teach them the ABC's, so we read it a lot more often and we were still reading it right up through the terrible twos. Did my girls learn their ABC's before they reached three. You betcha. Sophie Cacique Gaul

My 4-month-old daughter LOVES Sandra Boynton books. We have ten of them and they are her favorites. She loves the simple stories and the bright, vibrant pictures. I point to the words and the pictures as we go through them & she giggles almost non-stop. She even tries to help me turn the pages. (Of course, she also has tried to eat the books, but she's only four months old.)There seems to be a lot of discussion regarding the "ugly birds." As an education professional, I think it is important not to under-estimate the intelligence of children. Many will take the phrase at face-value and see it for what it is, a silly statement that sounds funny and "tickles" when you read it.

This is a great book which my son loves to read. It teaches him his ABC's plus the pictures are great. We have almost all of Sandra Boynton's book collection. Highly recommend it.

This book is a work of art for little non-readers, and readers alike. Sandra Boynton's illustrations are so expresive they can tell the story without the words. My sister and I just love the pictures!

Sandra Boynton's brightly color books have rhymed their way into our family's heart- and this is one of her classics. We can recite most of her bouncy upbeat board books without even opening them. If I could meet this author, I would throw my arms around her and thank her for the millions of giggles her whimsical books have brought to my children.
