5.0 out of 5 stars Imagination, Need I say More?, May 2, 2000
By A Customer
I did a story hour project for my Children's Literature class and this is one of the books I read to them. They really enjoyed it because it kept them guessing what the letters stood for. This book helps the child to expand their imagination because this book is not the usual alphabet books that says "A is for Apple". This book expands that horizon by incorporating the sounds the animals make. I would recommend this book to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Review of "Q is for Duck", September 4, 2005
This review is from: Q Is for Duck: An Alphabet Guessing Game (Hardcover)
This is a very nice book for preschoolers or kindergartners which is no doubt why it was on my entering kindergartner's Summer Reading List.

A typical example of the book's mental puzzles would be : "D is for Mole".
Why?
"Because a Mole Digs"

Want another example?

"G is for Horse
Why?
Because a Horse Gallops"

Pretty funny kindergartner stuff. And this pretty much exemplifies how the rest of the book runs. With the exception of a few choices that deal with digging, galloping and flying; most of the questions are answered by the sound that an animal makes.

Four Stars. Very good brain enhancing (educational) material that will make most kids stop and think if only for a moment

5.0 out of 5 stars Riddles Make Writers, January 22, 2000
By A Customer
Children love the riddle format of this guessing game book. In the course of reading, they learn about letters and sounds, questions and answers, and predicting and confirming. After reading the book, children enjoy writing and illustrating their own alphabet riddle books. This book always earns a "Read it again!" response.
