Brava, Laura Williams! This is an alphabet book that really brings a smile to my child's face. The photos are brightly colored and sharp, and the concepts are inventive and fun. The kids in the book all look down-to-earth (as opposed to Ann Gedes' airbrushed angels), and the large trim size is inviting for young readers. My child just loves the P/popcorn and U/underwear spreads, while I love the N/nap spread. No ordinary alphabet book, this is a must-have for parents with toddlers.

When I bought this book I thought I was getting the full size hardcover. When I got it, it was a little board book. I use this book every year in the first week of school to introduce the alphabet and names to my kindergartners and I wanted a bigger book that everyone could see during a read aloud so I was a bit disappointed. But this is a great picture book. It has lovely photographs of a child or children for each letter of the alphabet. Get the full-sized version if you're a teacher but if you're getting this for your child, the board book will do.

Very appealing and great fun. The photos are real kids doing kid-like things---lots of giggles. Very inspiring for young children to find their own alphabet antics.

I looked very carefully when I was buying this book and no where did I see that it was a board book. I was very disappointed. It was very small, and a bit beat up too. However, shipping was very quick.

So many ABC books to choose from. Nice to see one with a new fun contemporary look and feel. Great photos and colors for young children.

I was SHOCKED by the U for Underwear spread. What happened to U standing for Umbrella, Ugly, Unicorn, Up, Under????? C'mon, do we have to photograph our young girls in their underwear???? For me, this was completely inappropriate and I will be returning the book. Call me old fashion, but as a mother of a daughter, I'd rather have her connect with the big black thing that we use to cover ourselves in the rain than 3 young girls standing in their underwear.
