About the Book

By opening this book, your child will discover a new level of learning, but at the same time become familiar with everyday subjects that show themselves in a different light. In addition to learning the alphabet and basic phonics skills, your child's mind will be open to the world of things, just waiting to be uncovered. There are twists and turns on every page that will train your child to identify encounters in their lives, but at the same time be enjoyable for the whole family.

As each page is turned, what seemed to be true on the previous page will surprisingly change into a different object that begins with the same letter. Your young reader's mind actively learns the skill of association while acquiring new vocabulary effortlessly. As your child's first teacher, you know that one strategy to engage active listening is to keep the child guessing. The reading material presented in this book will be so inspirational, it will keep the both of you laughing, giggling, and interacting page after page.

The vivid illustration is another great tool to engage your young scholar. Show him or her how things might look dissimilar when our perspective changes. There are also cultural and scientific elements in the book, such as a hut in Asia or an octopus camouflaging in pebbles, which allow readers to see the world a little differently.

I will recommend this book to anyone who works with young children. The journey to learning the English alphabet has just been made easier!
