Working more on sound identification than letter recognition, this is a good alphabet book for the slightly older crowd. With each page or spread featuring a letter sound, the book outlines the fun activities that a boy and girl have when visiting grandparents, from a bubbly bath to a perfect friend for playing pretend and ending with zithers and guitars under zillions of stars. Simple colorful illustrations are a plus with lots of geometric shapes - round smiling faces, triangular bodies, and rain falling in straight lines. A good read-aloud for preschool-1st grade.

This book is not your average ABC book in that most ABC book start out and say A is for...... but in this book you'll find for example for "D" dogs that dine from your dish and mine and for "O" an Oak tree to climb one limb at a time.

Two siblings, a boy and a girl go to visit their grandparents for 48 hours or perhaps a long weekend and this is what they do during their visit. I am not a huge fan of this illustrator, but some people really do enjoy his artwork.

Cute children's book. It was a gift and the people said their 2 year old really liked it. That's what it is all about!
