These books are wonderful, the stories are cute and fun to read and the illustrations are enjoyable. The "find" page at the end of the book is great; my kids have fun finding pictures that start w/ each letter. I highly recommend this book for kids who are learning their letters by sight and sound. They are AS fun as reading Dr. Seuss stories but kids are learning in the process. Expensive but WELL WORTH IT!!

This is a great series and worth the money even though it was expensive. We used it every week in my kindergarten class. The stories are funny and have lots of alliteration. We used the poems at the end of the stories to identify letters and sight words.

my preschool teacher read some of these to me last year and i saw them and nearly blasted through the roof. i asked my mom to buy them for me and i would even use some of my own money for them. you get one book for each letter in the alphabet. when they got here, my mom showed me that there was an extra book that had mini books of the big books and i was so excited that i blasted through the roof. you should get these books because they are fun and also help you learn your letters and sounds and reading. after my mom reads them to me, i tell the story to my little brother. he is three and i am five. you should get these books. ok - i am done now - you can stop typing for me.

I'm an intermediate elementary school teacher...I bought these books for my son, when he was three. He loved them so much that I also bought them on cd. He would fall asleep at night listening to these stories...I think he memorized them at first, but he was really reading by 4. In nursery school, and now in kindergarten, I send in the book which corresponds to whatever letter of the alphabet his class is learning. His teachers love them too. I also bought the handwriting book that goes with the series, but that seems more difficult, or for older children than the books themselves.

The Alphatales Library is a great tool for introducing letters to young children. Each book has extra ideas for parents and/or teachers, a practical page that asks to find items beginning with the letter, and a cheer for each letter as a way to review with energy and enthusiasm.

I teach students with various levels of social and cognitive skills. Alpha Tales stimulate and educate all! Alpha Tales and the suggested lesson guides printed on the back inside cover of each book benefit children of diverse learning styles. C. Hodgins

I bought this set for my preschool/kindergarten class to help them learn their ABC's. These books have short stories filled with fun characters which keep the audience entertained. The large pictures on each page make it easy for students to see them during story time. Even my own 6 year old daughter, who ALREADY knows the alphabet, enjoys reading these books.

If you are trying to teach kids the alphabet this is a fun way. They actually do have a seperate book for each letter. Some alphabet series combine some of the letters at the end, because they are more difficult to write about, but these have actually achieved what so many before have failed at, they make complete stories about even the most difficult letters (for example - X) and it is still fun. It doesn't seem like a stretch. I also love these because they read like any other story, not like something educational. This way it doesn't bore children. My daughter really likes them and she thinks they're funny. I always let her be my critic because she has a very short attention span and gets bored very easily.
