A Is for Apple Reviews

  My husband and I both love this book. We have plenty on our shelves that are alphabet books..."A is for...B is for", we also have alphabet flash cards, alphabet apps on our i pads. This book is the best in that it has a large recessed letter on each page that your toddler can trace with her finger, so you get some pre-writing skills, and a fun activity to do while you are reading. Also there is a flap to open on each page with another letter word underneath. My two-year old made it all the way to the letter R before moving on to another activity. I can definitely see her growing with this one.

  Tiger Tales’ book, A is for Apple, illustrated by Georgie Birkett lets the kids learn the letters of the alphabet and shows them what are some of the words that start with those letters. For example “K is for Key and kite.”
  
  Letting the children use the interaction of trace and flip the flap to see how the words meant to be written and see that there is more than one word that starts with that same letter helps the kids learn effectively their ABC's. Using small words that they normally use helps their minds to know the order of the alphabet. This book is a great tool for little kids to effectively learn the alphabet and start thinking of other words that can help them remember it.

  Each letter in this book is made with a cutout to allow for tracing the letter with your finger. There are even arrows and numbers to help you know what part of the letter to trace first (as if you were writing it). In addition, each page has an item and phrase (like “A is for apple.”) but also a flap that reveals another item that starts with that letter. This is a great interactive option for an alphabet book!

  My favorite part is the pop-outs in this book. Each letter has two things that start with that letter and a pop-out for children to be engaged. I think it is a fun additive for children which makes them more excited to read this book. This is a great book for younger children who are still learning their letters.

  Both my kids loved any books with flaps to lift starting when they were between 1 and 2. They loved the words for each letter, especially as they started to recognize familiar objects. My son is three now and likes to practice tracing the letters on the tracing tracks and finding letters he recognizes

  This board book teaches the letters of the alphabet with same-letter illustrations for each letter.
  
  The format features die-cut finger trace trails and lift-the-flap.
  
  This is probably one of the best alphabet books I have read. It has the standard A is for …, B is for …, C is for … format, but the construction allows for the reader to trace each letter with his/her finger. It also has lift-the-flaps with a second word for added interest.
  
  Non-traceable lowercase letters are included next to the traceable uppercase ones. 90% of all print is lowercase, which makes teaching the alphabet in lowercase more beneficial than uppercase.

  Read a book day for my toddlers! My students wanted to read a book on the alphabet. We purchased this one as it has small flaps the students can open to incorporate small muscle development along with language skills. Good read for my toddler class.

  Good word association choices to correspond with each letter.. flaps to open may be torn or bent by child without adult supervision, though. Artistic content is dull.

  This is an excellent book for students learning how to correctly write each letter. I loved the numbered instruction on each page for proper letter formation.

  Love the lift-the-flap design and the recessed track for tracing the letters. Makes a nice and quiet activity book.

  A flip book with traceable ABCs. It’s a board book, so it’s durable even with my curious baby girl (18mo)

  We can't go past a shelf of books at the store, garage sale or even get in the car without a book or car in her hands. Recently I introduced Gianna (18 months) to Flap Books. She already enjoys Touchy Feely Books & so this book is a great fit for her.
  
  I had actually seen this book at Walmart about a week ago but didn't purchase it at the time because I was thinking she wasn't ready for "writing". Yesterday we saw this book at Target and of course "G" latched onto it. Each individual page is dedicated toward 1 letter and shows pictures of objects that start with that letter. So, C is for Cat (flip the flap and find a Car), A is for Apple (flip the flap and find an ant). One of the things I liked was that each letter is a grooved letter and each shows arrows so children can properly learn the correct way to write a letter. This is the way kids are taught to write their letters in school and now we can reinforce it at home or preschool. We have already been using our pointer finger to help us count the birds in our counting book so it was nice to extend that skill into "writing" our letters.

  Teaching little ones their ABC's is so easy when the book is interactive. Little fingers can trace over letters and learn what letter their favorite objects start with. Apples, balls, rabbits and zebras are easily recognized and fun to spell. Bright smooth pages are easy to turn. Flip open the little picture boxes to see what's hidden inside.
  
  Parents and kids can practice sounds, point to pictures and read the words. Helpful hints are on the back of the book to make learning fun.

  Another book Eddie got for Christmas. He's only 1.5 but he's a big fan of "flap" books (like "Dear Zoo"). It's a little early for reading and writing letters but he's starting to say the words. I'm hoping if we continue to trace the letters and say the words together, it may help him with his ABC's later on.
  
  *Note: Eddie is growing up in Japan so he primarily hears and learns Japanese at daycare.

  Three year old Gavin loves this alphabet book. He loves tracing each letter and lifting the flaps to find the hidden item specific to each letter. Board Book format is awesome for the tracing of letter ans so little brother Braden can enjoy too.

  My 2 year old class loves this book. Each page has outline of the letters of the alphabet and you can trace them. I let my two year old class trace the letter that my co-teacher and I are teaching them.

  "Interactive alphabet book with tracks to trace and flaps to flip." A reader may run their finger along the numbered tracks to make the letter. There is a picture that matches the letter and a flap that when flipped, has another picture for that letter.

  My mother bought this for my toddler for Christmas and she loves it. It has flaps to hold her interest and she is learning the alphabet. Eventually she could learn to trace the letters. Super cute baby book.
