I love this book! It has been definitely the best next step for my 3 1/2 year old. She has learned all the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make, but this book introduces the capital letters and the lower case for of the letters. At first she was confused that both forms make the same letter, but after reading the book several times, she would say, "Big letter, little letter". She really got the concept. Then the author uses each letter in the rhyme on each page to bring beautiful language to describe the animal for that letter. The guessing is fun for my daughter, even after many times of reading the book. The learning can be at many levels because the illustrator has included several other animals that also begin with the same letter as the main animal on the page. The construction of the flaps is done very well. My daughter is usually rather enthusiastic while opening flaps and has ripped other books' flaps after reading it a couple of times. These flaps hold up very well and she has not ripped any of them after many, many readings. The pictures are colorful and fun to look at. I love this book!
