So we immediately knew that we would enjoy reviewing
Priddy Books Alphaprints ABC.
As soon as the twins saw this beautiful, bright book
they fell in love with it!
It was an instant hit with the twins.
They love looking through the book and looking at the
animals as it goes through the alphabet.
Alphaprints ABC is a good sized book for children to sit
and look at both on the floor on their own or together with an adult.
I have found that the twins often want to look at the
same book. Small sized books often end with them arguing over it.
However with this book they are both able to sit and look together.
They enjoy pointing and looking at the animals and telling each other
what they think in their own little way!
The book has had a lot of use from the twins, it has
been knocked about and even chewed and it still looks like new!
It has thick, good quality board pages which have a
smooth finish which can be wiped clean after any spillages. As the
pages are board there are no chances of them being ripped, folded or
damaged. Anyone who has toddlers will know that they are not as
gentle with books as they should be so this book is perfect to
withstand anything!
The pages have a pure white background which is ideal
for toddlers as the writing and pictures are brightly coloured really
do stand out. There is not too much going on which makes it easier
for them to concentrate on the picture of the animal that goes with
the letter.
Each letter of the alphabet is paired with an animal.
The pictures of the animals are fantastic and so
imaginative.
The animals are mainly made up with thumb and finger
prints which give the children a sensory experience of tough. The
finger prints are slightly raised and the twins always run their
fingers along the pictures and enjoy feeling the different textures.
Along with the fingerprints are various household,
outdoor and food items that are included for the children to find.
At the moment the twins are recognising the items of
food but as they grow older and their knowledge increases they will
be able to look for the other household and outdoor items such as
buttons and leaves.
Their favourites ones to find are the bananas on the
walrus and toucan, the carrots on the rhino and the eggs of the newt.
As we read the book I have noticed that the twins are
attempting to say a lot more of the animal names. Some of them are
tricky for them but they are having a go.
This book is a great way for children to learn the names
of different animal and to help them associate the animal with the
letter.
When I read to the twins I sound the letters
phonetically and I have found that they are also trying to make the
sounds.
Thanks to the lovely bright colours this is also a great
book for children to learn colours.
This really is a beautiful book which has become a firm
favourite to look at and read. The twins never tire of looking at the
brightly coloured animals and listening to the alphabet animal rhyme!
This book gets an amazing 5 stars from us and we can see
why it is one of Amazon.com's best children's books of 2013!
I sincerely hope that they do more alphaprints books
they are a genius yet simple idea that captivates children, we love
it!
