My Favorite Letters

This is a really fun and useful book! My son is two and has recently started to watch the televison show. I found this book just browsing in the children's section and decided to pick it up... I'm so glad I did. (We had to read it five times in-a-row when I first gave it to him!)He is beginning to understand the concept of spelling/reading/letters, and this book has really helped us move forward. Because he recognizes the characters, he is automatically more "in tune" with the book and he gets even more excited about reading. The sentences are short and the illustrations are colorful and engaging. My favorite feature is the pictures in the middle of the text that replaces words (the substituted word is underneath the picture in a smaller point size). My son understands the pictures and is now "reading" along with me... becoming more active in the reading process. I can't wait to get the rest of the series.
