recommends it for:
kindergarten/first grade teachers & students
I like the humorous, rhyming text. The illustrations are jovial -- my students will enjoy reading this book. Kindergarten and first grade teachers will be able to use this book to teach/review letters and letter sounds. I am going to ask my students to create a class book for each letter of the alphabet producing two items that do not begin with the letter as well as an example that does begin with the letter. Yound students will enjoy the rhyming text -- very approrpiate for intended audience.

The book's great illustrations and silly text make for a fun read, but it's probably not the best book to use when actually teaching the alphabet. A good one for review, I guess...
Fun side note: I had Wendy Ulmer for a teacher in high school, and she still turns up in the book shop periodically. (Well, fun side note for me, anyway.) I love local authors!

There are so many words on each page and the actual "alphabet" word is not highlighted in any way... will be quite confusing for young beginning readers and the adults who share the book with children would have been more appreciative if there are more than one "alphabet" word on the page and with some design-assistance on those words.

Great alphabet book. The text rhymes, and it includes capitol and lowercase letters.
