AlphaBasiCs is just what it appears to be. . . a series of alphabet books based on those subjects which interest young children. Such books encourage kids to let their imaginations soar. . . and to design their own alphabet books -- Brandon Sun, Dec. 28, 1997

Learn about the daily life of Colonial Americans,
By
This review is from: Colonial Times from A to Z (Alphabasics) (Paperback)
Using an ABC book format, we learn of various aspects of colonial life in America: dress, trades, daily living and even games that children played. Just enough text to keep the attention span of kids aged 6 and under. Illustrations are drawings and photographs. A nice addition to learning the history of our United States of America. The content focuses mainly on daily living such as who does what type of job and how people live, such as what their kitchens were like, how they cooked, and about how they dealt with the hazards of chimney and roof fires. Slavery is touched on very briefly and it is implied that all Colonials owned slaves.

This review is from: Colonial Times from A to Z (Alphabasics) (Paperback)
This is a great book. It goes throught the alphabet & expands on an aspect of colonial times. Each page includes artwork, illustrations, or diagrams to expound on life. This book is cleverly written and very handy. I like how chalked full of information it is. A great book for 4-8 year olds.

This review is from: Colonial Times from A to Z (Alphabasics) (Paperback)
Covering a broad spectrum of colonial life, this book goes from Apothecary to XMas, using photographs and drawings to educate and entertain.
Every page has something fun to learn, but the best suggestion is "Y for your Colonial Alphabet Book, with a few suggestions for creativity. For students of 18th century history, or for ahyone who just enjoys a beautiful book, this is a must-buy!
