Book Review - The Alphabet's Alphabet by Chris Harris + Giveaway

 

 


The illustrated book is a cute take on how the letters in the alphabet look like each other. An A is really an H that is slouching and doesn't stand up straight. A B is a D who is wearing a belt on too tight. I found the cute children's book to be a fun read. It illustrates that we are more alike to each other than we may think. The book provided a new fun way at looking at the alphabet.

For fans of P is for Pterodactyl comes this groundbreaking spin on the ABC's from an acclaimed, bestselling author and artist pairing!

Here's a totally twisted take on the alphabet that invites readers to look at it in a whole new way: An A is an H that just won't stand up right, a B is a D with its belt on too tight, and a Z is an L in a tug-of-war fight! Twenty-six letters, unique from each other -- and yet, every letter looks just like one another! Kind of like...one big family.

From two bestselling masters of wordplay and visual high jinks comes a mind-bending riddle of delightful doppelgängers and surprising disguises that reveal we're more alike than we may think. You'll never look at the alphabet the same way again!

Book Review - ABCs and 123s for Boys by Tom McLaughlin + Giveaway

Photo Credit - Amazon
This cute fully illustrated book will teach children their alphabet and how to count. The book is separated into two sections and can easily be read in one sitting or two separate readings. The illustrations were beautiful and diverse. Children will love the rhymes, the characters, and the fun scenes. I am not sure why it says "for boys" but, it can be read to anyone. I am assuming the author and illustrator both have boys and wanted a book "just for them". I liked that the book included a spot for children to write in their names.
