The pros: There are a lot of different programs in this book. Each letter includes boks, recipes, crafts, songs, and activiies to do for each letter. They are set up in a way that makes it easy to pick out what you want to use and leave out what you don't. I also appreciated that several of the letters were "outside the box" picks. It's also a great resource for brainstorming themes, even if you piece them together using other sources in the end.

The cons: This book is really dated. Almost every book suggestion is from the 1980s. While some stand the test of time, many do not. I also thought some of the recipes and crafts were a little too far out, but that's personal preference.

Some cute ideas and activities to help teach letters to my little ones at home. It was displayed at the library and I'm glad I grabbed it.
