Another ABC Book

We got another ABC book for Christmas that is truly a work of art.  Alphablocks by Christopher Franceschelli takes the alphabet book to a entirely new level.

What makes Alphablock so neat is that each of the letters is cut out, which you can see from the image below.

Then when you turn the page the cut out becomes part of the illustration.  

My favorite letter is X.  It says X is for X ray and when you turn the page it takes an "x-ray" of the hand. 

This book in not just great for the amazing illustrations and details but also because of the tactile experience it can give young learners.  Children are able to touch and feel the shape of the letters, which could help many learn the subtle difference in some letters.  If you are looking to add to your ABC book collection make this your next purchase!

Happy Reading!

B is for Bulldozer

My son got so many books for Christmas that are really good and I want to share them with you!  I am going to start with his favorite.  Since Christmas he has bee OBSESSED with B Is for Bulldozer by June Sobel.

This book has everything for a truck enthused little boy, or girl.  Every letter has something to do with construction.  L is for loader, E is for excavator, C is for crane.  This book is hardly missing any machine that has to do with construction.  To make the book even better it actually tells the story of building an amusement park.  The same two boys are on every page watching the progress as the machines build all the different rides.  In the end the two boys are riding the roller coaster.

This book was a last minute purchase.  I was at Target just looking at the books and thought I have to get this one.  Little did I know it would end up being his favorite.  Right now we read it approximately 10 times a day.

Check back tomorrow and I will share another new book we got for Christmas!

Happy Reading!
