My First ABC Book

BUY IT. Trust me. I have a library of over 200 children's books for my son, age 2. I was stunned at what an excellent item this is when we received it! He is only two but he knows his letters, so I thought the ABC board book would be a good fit for him. I had no idea! It was neat that he'd learned his letters already, but now I can ask him, "James, what letter does "airplane" start with?" and get the right answer. He knows DOZENS of these, thanks to this book! We love a great read and that is how we enjoy one another's company much of the day. This isn't a "Mommy, read it!" book. It's an "I'll let you sit on my lap and I'll hold the book so you can build your brain while I rest book." I love a book that I DON'T have to read just as much as one I do have to read. :) My son sits calmly on my lap, picking through the pages and pointing to realistic pictures of items, while telling me what each one is called. It's excellent for vocabulary building. It helps him build confidence in his ability to "read." And it has shown him that letters(shown on the pages for the words shown that begin with them,) MEAN something. This is one of those books that I think everyone should have. It will be part of my future baby gifts from here on out. (I like to give books because no one else does and they are the single best building block to education that I can provide to the child, as someone outside the home. Plus, they last forever compared to baby clothes!) I really encourage you to add this item to your home library. Your child will benefit from it immensely and you will both enjoy "reading" it. ;)

This series of board books are fantastic.I started collecting these for my daughter after she was given one at 6 months and this is what we started to read to her every night. She woud sit and demand it to be read over and over and over again. The board pages and are easy for baby and toddler to turn and the pictures (real photography not illustrations) are wonderful.The ABC book is simple to read to your baby and each letter has several items beginning with that letter. If your looking for a great picture book to share with your baby this is the one (and the series of books) to buy. You can never have too many books to read with your children.

We're on our second copy of "My First ABC" book by Jane Bunting. Our two daughters loved the first copy and now, five years later, our third child can't get enough. It is his first choice off the shelf as he waddles over and slaps it into my lap. As we flip through the pages we work on colors, objects, and letters. It's not uncommon to spend a good 15 to 20 minutes on this book at a single sitting, and for a 19 month old boy, that's worth writing home to mom about.

This book is great because the pictures are actualphotographs. A great learning tool. My son gets this book off theshelf all the time and he is learning to identify many things in the book.

my twins love this book and the others in this series. their vocabulary has greatly increased and they are delighted with their knowledge. perfect for the two year old in your life.
