I love this book! Paddington is a favorite and this book helps me learn my numbers in a fun way. There’s also a special “I spy” activity at the end for when I’m older.

We borrowed this from the library but this is a book I’d like to own!

Again, from the same four book set. Little One likes this one, but not as much as the others.

[Tym · Rating 3 out of 5]

Exactly what it says it is but it also has some activities to help with learning in the back which is nice.

A cute basic abc book with basic paddington illustrations

[Sarah · Rating 2 out of 5]

Large pictures with one word to show an object for each alphabet letter. Best feature: two quizzes at the back to see how well children can match objects with letter sounds.

A cute Paddington Bear alphabet book. Really enjoyed the page at the end where it asks the reader to identify as many items as they can that start with 's'.

This book could be great at circle time it is big enough for everyone to see, it is kind of funny too.

Perfect for the 2 year old in my life who loves paddington.

This book is exactly what you expect it to be. Recently someone told me how hard it was to find "a for apple" books. This one is a little bit obscure items for contemporary American children, but it is exactly that. Short of a board book with a letter on one side, and a pic of an apple on the other (which is necessary), this is the more basic of the alphabet books that I've read.
