Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
PreS. Pinto's exceptional Alphabet Room is a beautiful example of an ABC book that is both artful and on target for young children, and it adds the delightful surprise of a cumulative hide-and-seek game. Each spread features a letter and a corresponding object in clear, bright, contrasting colors. Underneath the picture of the object, a flap lifts to reveal a warm yellow room, which, as the book progresses, slowly fills up with the featured items, in constantly shifting arrangements. Children will enjoy poring over each new configuration of the room, and finding familiar objects. At the same time they are learning the alphabet, they'll be learning to organize and identify objects. In images of the inviting, magical room, this offers a playful visual literacy exercise.

Product Description
Starting with the simplest images-apples for A, bowls for B, cat for C-Sara Pinto has taken a magical leap in the concept of alphabet books. Each letter has a door, and behind each door the objects arrange and rearrange themselves so that with every letter the picture becomes more complex. Letter by letter, magical scenes unfold inside the room. With gentle humor and charming design, this lift-the-flap alphabet book transcends the genre to offer something truly unique.

5.0 out of 5 stars lovely!, December 3, 2003
By A Customer
This is the most charming alphabet book for young children that I have ever seen. The whimsical humour of the illustrations are fun for both parents and children. My 3-year old adores it, as do I!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for your little learner!, April 18, 2006
By A. Baker "lovenboven" (Salt Lake City, UT) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We bought this book for our two year old daughter and absolutely LOVE it. It has big letters on one page and an object that starts with the letter opposite -- PLUS a building picture that contains the previous objects under a lift-the-flap for each set. Our daughter quickly learned her alphabet and can now recognize all the letters and many new objects she didn't know before: jester, quilt, painting (to name a few). Plus, this book is INTERESTING and really promotes spending some quality time with your kids. It has so much to it that we take it on airplanes and long car trips -- you could spend a few minutes going quickly through letters or a half hour exploring the photos and spelling words. What a tremendous book!
