Will Never Not Love This
I read it to my four boys. Reading it to my one-year-old grandson now. Such a delightful story with its rhythm and artful graphics. Sturdy material. Bright happy colors. It’s a mainstay of a child’s library for a reason.

Beautiful.
Itâs a sweet, colorful, beautiful book that I remember being the first book I learned to read as a child. My husband and I purchased it for our daughter for her first Christmas and she absolutely adores holding and turning the thick, glossy board book pages! Our favorite.

All time family favorite
I love this book and think every house with kids needs one. We’ve had it in paperback, hardback, and now board book for him to use himself.

Such a fun book!
Even my 4 month old enjoys this book. Initially I was skeptical because obviously he isn’t anywhere near learning his alphabets, but reading the book aloud there’s a solid tune to it. My baby loves the “chikka chikka boom boom” parts. Keeps him entertained throughout.

Love this little bookð©·
Arrived in perfect condition, was worried when it arrived before opening. It came in paper bubble envelope. However once I opened it, I checked all corners, and it was perfect. I used this as a card with a sweet note in it, rather than a shower card. Each time my niece reads this to her daughter, they will think of us ð©·

This is a classic that I would not want my child to go without! Great for learning rhythm and the alphabet, not to mention uppercase and lowercase differentiation.

Was gifted this book when my son was born. Now, two years later, he still loves it and we read it regularly. I gift this book to all new parents! It’s a fun and quick read. Great way to learn the alphabet.

Meu filho de 4 anos, amou o livro! Ele já tinha trazido o exemplar da biblioteca da escola, mas ficou fascinado pela estória e pelas rimas. Previamente, ele já conhecia o alfabeto, mas se encantou com a possibilidade de cada letra do alfabeto ter sua própria identidade. Além disso, o livro é bem resistente, tem capa dura e suas folhas são fáceis de serem manuseadas por leitores principiantes. Tenho certeza de que meu dinheiro foi muito bem empregado nesta aquisição!
