Little Alphabots

I know: there are TONS of alphabet books out there! I've just discovered a new one, that both my kids are interested it! Jonathan is nearly 5, knows all his alphabet and is interested in finding words that begin with the particular letter or writing words and sounds.  Daniel is just barely 2, loves looking at pictures in books and recognizing familiar objects. It's pretty rare to find a book for both of them!

Front Cover

The Little Alphabot book has entertained them both. Each page has a picture of a robot whose name begins with that letter of the alphabet. At the end of the book is a 2-page spread of all the alphabots, followed by a 2-page spread of the letters: uppercase and lowercase. Daniel is able to recognize the letter "D" in other contexts, after we've looked at this book several times and pointed out his D. He certainly impressed Oma when out of the blue he pointed to "D for Daniel!" Jonathan thinks the pictures look "cool!" (direct quote!) :) My husband and I like the book because it's entertaining for the children.

The pictures are very colourful, and the robots have lots of interesting features that appeal to children! The book is a paperback binding, and an easy size for kids to hold and handle; it would also fit easily into a diaper bag to take along for entertainment "on the go!"
