Only thing is the "M N O" page reads "N M O" and could be confusing to a kid learning the alphabet.
I would buy this again simply because he loves it soooo much!

- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2025Format: Board bookVerified PurchaseSturdy enough for a toddler, a lot nicer than I expected. The graphic design quality is like a coffee table book, but for a toddler.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2024Format: Board bookVerified PurchaseI recently saw this book at a toy store and I was instantly impressed with the quality and presentation of the alphabet for young kiddos!
I found it for less on Amazon so I ordered it for both of my granddaughters right away. The design of the cut-out letters is so clever. For example, the letter “J” on the left side of the page is raised for little fingers to trace and feel using tactile senses. The curl of the “J” fits perfectly into the tail of the beautiful inset jaguar with the curly tail across the page! The one word “Jungle” is next to the letter “J.”
This is the most perfect book for learning the sounds and shapes of letters, with words and beautiful details and clarity in n the pictures!
I also got the 1, 2, 3 book! 10/10 on the Grammy approval scale, and 10/10 on the teacher approval scale!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2020Format: Board bookVerified PurchaseUpdate: I've had it about 2.5 months now. My daughter, now 15mo, absolutely recognizes the robot, so I had no reason to worry. She also learned lowercase i from this book--the first letter she now says correctly 100% of the time. The second letter is O. She loves it, I love it, it's gorgeous, and I'm bumping it up to 5 stars from 4.
It's a very nice book. I see several nitpicky reviews (gasp, i and j are lowercase!) It's a nice little graphic design project that isn't the best illustrated ABC book, imo. They make the letters fit in the cutouts on the opposite page, so often the letter is too far away from the thing it represents. Plus, by trying to force the item to match the letter shape, there are some things that are almost unrecognizable. The panda, for instance, looks more like a badger. The robot looks like nothing. It's a nice book and my daughter enjoys it, and I think she'll like it more as she gets more exposure to letters (she's 13mo). Someone worked hard on this book, and it's a great effort as a design project. It's not nearly as "tactile" as people make it out to be. Just the letters are raised, and there are cutouts on the opposite side.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2025Format: Board bookVerified PurchaseThis book is super cute. Its very high quality - quite heavy and large. It's just the alphabet with some cut outs though, so I do find there's not a ton of interaction. Perhaps this would be better for a baby and not a toddler, as the visuals are the important part of the book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2024Format: Board bookVerified PurchaseMy sister gave this to my niece for her newborn baby and I fell on love with. It. Simple concept but beautifully done!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2024Format: Board bookVerified PurchaseGreat book for introducing the alphabet to children! Vibrant colored pictures and inset/“pop-out” pictures help capture children’s attention. The book is rather large, so not a great option for travel, but a great addition for your home library!
