My First Book of ABC and 123: An Educational Picture Book for Young Children (Beginner Series: Book 1) [Kindle Edition]

Lisl Fair (Author), Michaela Grace (Author)

Book Description

My First ABC and 123 (2nd Edition) with Listening Games for Toddlers and Preschoolers introduces the alphabet and counting from 1 to 10 in a superb way.

Colorful, high quality illustrations are combined with silly rhymes to reinforce learning the alphabet. The book contains 26 listening games for children from 6 months to 5 years of age.

Good listeners make good students and good friends who can understand and follow the rules in a classroom or during games. The number section includes a sequential memory game for preschool children to help them practice their memorizing skills while learning to count from 1 to 10.

The book can be used by parents, teachers and therapists to lay an early foundation for good listening skills. The book contains two supplementary books: Noah's Ark Activity Book and Fun Day on the Farm Activity Book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Making Early Learning Fun August 23, 2012

I love the learning games in My First Book of ABC and 123. The 26 Fun Alphabet Listening Games are designed to be played by a parent and one or more children. They teach critical letter-sound and number recognition skills, sequencing and patterns, and so much more. Fun and easy to play, they require at most only a few items from around the house.

The book focuses on teaching the phonetic sounds of letters before emphasizing their letter names. This prepares children for early reading by making them confident of the sounds the letters make.

In the Alphabet section, each letter has a sentence that repeats the phonetic sound of the letter several times. The sentences are funny and memorable, but I feel that several of the words used are too advanced for most children in this age group. Nevertheless, this book is a powerful tool for parents to use every day with their children.

3.0 out of 5 stars 3.8 stars December 13, 2012

For the most part I found this to be a cute learning book for toddlers and very young children. The pictures are big and bright and colorful and I thought it was imaginative and creative enough. I do recommend that parents help their child to read this on the Kindle rather than handing it off to them to play with as their are links that the child can push and go places they might not mean to go as well as some tougher navigation between the activities at the end of the book. The other thing that bothered me, and maybe this sounds dumb, but still, is the passage under the letter "C" where it says "Clever Cassie cat can cut cans." Really, I don't want my kids this age thinking cutting a can is a good idea nor do I want them imagining what the mutilated cat would look like after she was done cutting the cans. I thought that passage could have been greatly improved upon. This was not a bad ABC book, but one I wouldn't let the kids take off with the Kindle to read.

Wow! Did this book totally over deliver for me!

I like children's books and all things to do with making learning fun for kids. This book was excellent quality from the illustrations to the carefully selected games and instructions for adults.

I thought it was very well done and would recommend this to any parent, teacher or child care provider as a great learning tool for young kids.

Very fun!
