A lovely start for preschoolers and for young students who study English as a second language. Oliver Jeffers creates once again unique illustrations of an ‘unusual’ alphabet where C stands for cup, D for donkey and U for underground, he avoids the clichés of C for cats, D for dogs and U for umbrellas.

This is one of Little Brother’s favourite books. He is 22 months old and already knows most of the alphabet. He loves to flick through the pages and sound out each letter then we say the name of the person or thing that is drawn next to each letter. He likes the ‘N’ page because it also has some numbers on it and he will shout those out too!

This is a simple alphabet book (one word with picture for one letter on each page, for teaching toddlers letters and vocabulary). The words/pictures are taken from the book Once Upon An Alphabet.
This is a cute alphabet book, and I'd add it to the 0-4 year old collection for expanding vocabulary beyond A is for Apple. ...more

Irritating that the focus is on upper case and they are not all phonetically correct
Not bad, just not interesting enough to bring home.
Aside from Oliver Jeffers’ great illustrations, there wasn’t really anything that stuck out to me about this one. But for parents looking for a straightforward alphabet book for their babies, this works fine. But everyone should read the original picture book it’s based on, Once Upon an Alphabet.
Liked it but not for my audience.
