Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Every page of My First ABC Book is packed with big, clear photographs of familiar objects: ants, kite, oranges, tractor, zebra... Each letter, carved out of wood and photographed, occupies a central spot on the page. Ethnically diverse children populate the pages, holding balloons, wearing masks, playing with puppets. An ever growing alphabet runs along the bottom of every spread, with a funny little purple-striped winged critter hauling each subsequent letter out of a wagon to add to the sequence.
Ideas for ABC games at the end of the book and a useful note to parents at the beginning also help distinguish this fine book from the sea of alphabet books. Parents should be aware, however, that the book only references lowercase letters, which may cause some confusion in the preschooler set. Children will want to return to My First ABC Book again and again, and will soon be reading by themselves! (Ages 2 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-Sharply focused, full-color photographs of familiar objects arranged against a clean white background are the strength of this oversized alphabet book. A large lowercase letter appears on each page, surrounded by recognizable items beginning with that letter. Clearly labeled, the photos are interesting and varied; each page includes a child interacting with the toys, food, animals, or household goods depicted. A note to parents opposite the title page and an afterword called "ABC Games" suggest activities to help children learn about letters. The word "first" in the title may be misleading; uppercase letters are usually introduced first.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Our first was not enough.,
By terry kaldhusdal (Oconomowoc, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My First ABC Book (Hardcover)
We're on our second copy of "My First ABC" book by Jane Bunting. Our two daughters loved the first copy and now, five years later, our third child can't get enough. It is his first choice off the shelf as he waddles over and slaps it into my lap. As we flip through the pages we work on colors, objects, and letters. It's not uncommon to spend a good 15 to 20 minutes on this book at a single sitting, and for a 19 month old boy, that's worth writing home to mom about.
