Intro


This page is dedicated to providing thoughtful book reviews and recommendations for children and teens. I will try to include a combination of classics and modern literature, although I anticipate focusing more heavily on the former. My goal is to frequently post reviews for a variety of genres and age levels.

ABC Books

There are hundreds of ABC books. Here are a few titles that my preschooler has enjoyed reading:

Animalia
Author/Illustrator: Graeme Base
Find animals and objects beginning with one of the letters of the alphabet on every page. And don't forget to look for the author himself.

Creature ABC
Author/Photographer: Andrew Zuckerman
The wonderful photographs of animals makes this book worth checking out.

Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten
Author: Joseph Slate
Illustrator: Ashley Wolff
My preschooler loves this book! A cute way to introduce the letters, some animals, and reassure children who have fears about going to school.

Alphabet Soup
Author/Illustrator: Scott Gustafson
Otter invites his animal friends to bring their favorite ingredients for an alphabet soup house-warming party.

G is for Goat
Author/Illustrator: Patricia Polacco
An ABC book all about goats.

Paddington's A B C
Author: Michael Bond
Illustrator: John Lobban
In order to emphasize the letter sounds, I read this one using the following pattern: A says [a] as in [a] [a] apple.
