My First Abc Book Revised Hardcover – Import, 2 June 2003

I received a Lift-the-Flap book as a hand-me-down (it was one on "sizes" that focused on opposites in its format), and my 17-month-old son was choosing to read it every night. I ordered a few more Lift-the-Flaps, and I'm really pleased with the ABC book. I love the photographs of realia--as opposed to drawings--and appreciate that concepts are introduced in addition to the words and pictures. I also appreciate the authors' efforts to include things both familiar (yo-yo) and unfamiliar (yacht...at least, in the South) to toddlers, and there are plenty of objects included that are part of a toddler's world. This book is sure to increase my son's vocabulary, as it grabs his attention continually throughout the day.

We bought this book for our one year old who loves flap books. This one has so many flaps that it is a great discovery for her. The only reason I didn't give 5 star rating because they tried to fit too many letters onto one page. A bit crammed in. Visually it is a little much but perhaps it is for an older child. Still, it is a good book to have in a baby collection.

Ａ～Ｚまでの大文字小文字が載っていて勉強になる本です。めくるページもあって子供は喜んでいます。最初のりんごをめくると半分に割れた中身が見えるのが面白いです。しかも、種まで見えます。色々な単語が載っているしカラフルなので、最初に見る絵本て感じです。

As many parents know, when we want our children to learn to read early, it can be difficult engaging them in books in the beginning thanks to their short attention spans. You just have to find what works for your child, and for my son he loves flip-the-flap books. So, when searching for a good alphabet book that I knew he would let me read to him, I went straight for one with flaps in it, and this book has multiple flaps on every page. Thankfully, it's been a success with my son and he will let me sit down and read it to him multiple times for extended periods, which is exactly what I wanted!

Waz buying as gift, all flaps open, some torn, dirty, seem of book ripped, two corners torn/chewed on. Food stains and dried food on paged. Teeth marks like from dog chewing.
