Dr. Seuss's ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book!

As the purists will tell you in their review, this is an abridged version. However, it is a perfectly good abridged version. At six months old, this was the first book that my son would sit still and listen to all the way through. He loved the rhythms of the words in the book, and thus began a long term love of this book. Soon after his second birthday, he had both the upper case and lower case letters of the alphabet mastered. I read this book to him so many times that I can still recite it all the way through (and reciting it to him on long car rides was invaluable!). Now that he is 5 and reads the original version by himself, both of us sometimes get tripped up and start to say what is in the board book (which I should also note is more repetitive than the original, which as we all know babies and toddlers love). So for those who say that the original is "bettter", I would argue it is simply a matter of preference for the familiar. As to those who say let the baby have the original paper-page book--no thanks. Board books are much more sturdy and tolerate the inevitable chewing. Abridged Seuss is still Seuss and my son (and now daughter) love the abridged Seuss board books. And after all the goal is to get our children to love reading.

Granddaughter loved the book. She read it often and it was well worth the price.

Our toddlers love this book. Along with Hop on Pop and Mr. Brown Can Moo

Much smaller than expected

I thought this would be the same as the larger size but it is the abbreviated version.
