NanceXToo Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) There's Curious George Learns The Alphabet (which is very cute, the Man in the Yellow Hat gives George a reading lesson and starts by teaching him all the letters of the alphabet- capital and lowercase- he draws each letter for him and then makes it look like some sort of object or animal. The description on that page will include lots of words with that particular letter. In between, it will tell a little bit of a 'normal' Curious George story, like what he's doing when they take a break from their reading lesson and so on). And there's Dr. Seuss's ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book (which I also love, that one's very cute, too).

*Jessica* Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Our absolute favorite alphabet book is The Book of Shadowboxes: A Story of the ABCs by Laura Seeley. This is one of those books that I'll buy a copy of for each of my kids when they have children of their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Definitely Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. And it teaches the lower case letters, which are often neglected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 We just got I Spy Alphabet in Art from the library, & my 3yo is fascinated w/ it. Even better, my 10yo thinks the paintings are so interesting, he volunteers to read it to her. It's got the alphabet on every left p, w/ an object to find in the right p that starts w/ that letter. Very good for pic study, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 We love most of the above. And we have another sweet favorite: A You're Adorable - this is a song we sang to our munchkin, and finding it in a board book was very special. It was a first birthday gift that he - still, at 6 - pulls out for snuggle time. It's available on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieF Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Chika Chika Boom Boom All of my children LOVE this one! :iagree:My oldest had it memorized by 2 we read it SO much! He (and his younger brothers) still pull out this ratty old copy and read it. Precious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumping In Puddles Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Gyo Fujikwa's A to Z picture book. An absolute favorite around here. It's hard cover, beautifully (classically) illustrated and makes a great gift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairProspects Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 There's Curious George Learns The Alphabet, and Dr. Seuss's ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book (which I love) :iagree: These are our favorite too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Alphabet Under Construction and Sleepy Little Alphabet are the two books that my kids insist on each getting their own copy every single time we go to the library. And did I mention they each need their own copy? Love ABC books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 The ABC book of prestige in Australia is Animalia :) Rosie Thank you for posting this one. My animal loving little one should love it. I just put it on hold at our library :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 :iagree: These are our favorite too! We hadn't even actually READ the Curious George one until last night, and I just might buy it myself (it was a library book). It's really cute. I edited my original reply to tell more about it, but not sure if you'll check back on posts you've already read, so I'll add here: It does capital AND lowercase letters of the alphabet, it blends a bit of a 'regular' Curious George story in with him learning all these letters. The man in the yellow hat teaches him the letters by drawing them for him and making them look like animals and objects (really cute pictures), and then that each page will use lots of words containing that particular letter. And in between him learning these letters, they'll take little breaks for George to do his normal monkey stuff. :) I really liked it.
