I haven't read any of the other "Sound Box" books, so my son and I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had.

The book showcases a parade of alphabets, with a letter and short rhyming verses on each page.
It is a surprisingly enjoyable book to read to a preschooler who is beginning to learn the alphabet. The text are simple and the verses beautifully rhymed. The drawings of the kids and animals (in the version illustrated by Thornburgh) are cute and lovely. There are also small pictures on top of some key words to aid early-readers. A great book that, I think, will spark interests in the alphabets.
