Dr. Seuss’s ABC: A hilarious introduction to the alphabet from bestselling author Dr. Seuss perfect for children ages 3 – 7

This book has the usual feel of a Dr. Seuss book - relatively short, imaginative, fun, a good rhythm to the text and memorable.Good use of lower and uppercase letters for letter shape recognition and the silliness of the content thoroughly engages my 3 year old who loves trying to copy saying the words.My only gripe with the book, and it is a small one, is that the final rhyme for Z is spoken with the Americanised ‘zee’ sound so doesn’t quite work reading it with the English ‘zed’ ponounciation.

I have vague memories of my parents reading this to me as a child and bought it for my daughter after finding it cheap here. It's much better than the standard Alphabet song for teaching children letters.For each letter the captial and lower case forms are shown along with a catchy rhyme to demonstrate a range of possible ways the letter might sound. For example one of my favourites is:Big F, little f, what begins with f? Four Fluffy Feathers on a Fiffer-Feffer-Feff.My only gripe with it is that Z only rhymes if you say Zee not Zed.

Education made fun , making ready easier and interesting

Five year old and I have been reading this every day for months. He knows every word. It's a very entertaining way to learn the ABCs. Highly recommend!

I have good memories of this as a child, used it for my first daughter now 16 and have a copy for my current baby daughter ready to go. Suess's books foster a love of reading. The text is spot on and the alliterations make them very memorable. 'Kick a kettle, kite and a king's kerchoo!' sticks in my mind as one example. Great stuff.

Both my husband and me love this book. We read it all the time to our toddler and carry it round in her change bag. It is the ideal size and as with all Dr Seuss books the illustrations and rhymes keep adults and infants equally entertained. I even found that when I read this to Sophie at a mother and toddler group other toddler came round to listen so it is obviously very appealing to little minds. The only thing I find a little annoying is that the rhyme at the end doesn't work for English pronunciation of the letter z it is designed for Americans who pronounce the letter zee.

For the next generation with the original text.

My 23 month old daughter absolutely loves this book. I think it will be key in teaching her letter recognition. She loves to sing along with me. Yes, there are some fictional words, but that is what makes it funny to its young audience - a great way to make learning fun.
