My Boy Loves It
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
My 6 year old likes any book with pictures of sea creatures, but he is actually able to READ this book, he really enjoys reading this book to me.
Nice to read something with more detail

Tired of the same old, same old. Want to teach your preschooler more about the world. This book is great for an ocean theme unit and an alphabet unit. I have a home daycare with lots of 2 to 4 year olds and this is a favorite book. Now I don't think you are going to get your 18 month old too interested, but I find the preschoolers love the challenge of learning more about the world. I haven't tried any of Jerry Pallotta's other books, but I am planning on adding some more to my home library. Don't let your preschooler think that all things swimming in water are just called fish. Help them improve their vocabulary with this great ocean book. "A is for Alphabet Book. A is also for the Atlantic Ocean. The fish and other creatures in this book live in the North Atlantic Ocean.B is for Bluefish. Everyone loves to catch Bluefish because they love to fight. Their teeth are very, very sharp, so don't ever put your fingers in their mouths. C is for cod" and so on. very clear and colorful pictures.
we love them all!

mr pallotta's alphabet books are huge hits with both my kids, my son (who is not yet reading on his own) especially. he is fascinated with all the information in each of the books. if anything, they sparked his interest in reading after i had (almost) given up!
Beautiful pictures, but too long for preschool

This is a wonderfully illustrated book, with lots ofinteresting information. Just make sure your child has a longattention span if you intend to read it all at once!
Another Way to Look at the Alphabet
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
"A" doesn't always have to stand for "apple," especially when dealing with older children who haven't mastered the alphabet yet. This book is great to read aloud with young children because of the vivid pictures and interesting topics. The book lends itself to many different extension activities and will encourage children to want to learn more about the ocean. It's a great way to begin a study on ocean animals. I learned something new myself!
