I absolutely love the photos and graphics in this ABC book. The verses for each letter are horrible. I wish they weren't there! They are totally not needed. Here's a random sample: (they are all this bad.)
Cat sees the cherries and dreams of a cherry ice cream float.
Caterpillar likes his stripes and wonders, "Where'd you get your coat?"
The caterpillar and the cat have matching striped suits.
"I don't mind," says the crab.
"I'd rather eat the fruits."
Jeesh!

Cute idea, having cute little rhyming poems that try to link all the pictures representing the letter, even if there was often a stretch to get it all in. But there is some disinformation.
The image of a bison is labeled "buffalo," the image of a water lily is labeled "nasturtium," the image of a flying fox is labeled "vampire bat," and the image of a pony is up for grabs: it's a foal, so it could be a pony. All of these things have easy to find images for free on the internet. The publisher used Getty and Hachette, I'm sure they had the correct pictures.
Why would a book that claims to be "tested by families and teachers and edited and proofread by professionals in the field" have such errors? I'm not a teacher or a professional in the field and I noticed them.
Look elsewhere for an alphabet book with accurate pictures/labels. Giving it 2 stars because the alphabet is accurate and most of the pictures are, too.

Excellent children's books. I suggest getting your child letters and numbers editions of this series as a part of their young literacy, preschool introduction. It won't help learn the letters but it will bring their attention in, and reiterate their knowledge and understanding in a fun, exciting way. Excellent series of books. I own only the two but would buy more in the Natural world series (eyelike). The math one is particularly great.
