This is a great "A,B,C" book. It is sort of like "I spy with my little eye..." there are all sorts of things hidden and not so hidden in the pictures (which are just lovely to look at). my kids and I really enjoy this book.

We just received this book as a gift for our toddler. The letter-themed illustrations are lovely. We've been having fun discovering the letters together.
