"Our 3 year old had already been quite proficient with his ABC's when we gave him this book on his birthday, but we'll get a "2-fer" out of it - a fun reinforcement for him that he'll begin to actually read with, and it'll be waiting in the wings for his 1 year old baby sister (not to mention the newest family addition we recently found out about, due to arrive next May!). You can probably imagine that - having babysat for three of my four grandchildren for 7 years prior to my daughter-in-law becoming a stay-at-home-mom - we have MANY board books included in the large children's library we've built for them over those years - typically, if they're board book versions of a previously released book, they're greatly ABRIDGED versions. I have to say that not only is this one of the highest quality-constructed board books we've purchased, but at 36 pages long (as compared to the hardcover's 40 pages), I think we've actually got most of the entire original book!"
"This is a great book to help learn the alphabet."
"Chicka chicka boom boom will there be enough room?"
"This book is educational."
"Popular book for young children."
"I brought this for my niece she loves the repetition of the words and the pictures in the book."
"Bought this for my niece and nephews so I can enjoy reading them some classic books I grew up with."
This nostalgic classic is a must-have for every child! (The wicked witch of "Hansel and Gretel" fame, for instance, receives a circular from Hobgoblin Supplies Ltd. which advertises such appealing products as Little Boy Pie Mix.).

This is by far not a board book and we've had one small tear from my younger child -- just plan to keep an eye on it with younger children but the content is absolutely accessible to them."
"So cute, love the details put into it, my girls look forward to a letter a night."
"I made sure to explain to her that she, as the big sister, had to take special care not to lose all the letters and pieces inside the pages."
"Delightful illustrations and lots of references to nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and children's songs."
"My 7 year old loves this book and the envelopes on each page that are fun to open."
"Searched everywhere and was glad to find a copy on Amazon I could get for my kiddos."
"The reader removes the letter and reads the message such as Goldilock's letter to the three bears or Jack's letter to the Giant, etc."
"This is such a cute book."

"Really cute book!"
"Bought this book for my Kindergartner's first school birthday and asked all his classmates along with a couple of teachers to sign."
"It is a bit long so I definitely recommend it for an older toddler/preschooler and even then you may need to split up reading to keep their attention (at least if your child is incredibly active like mine)."
"We love this book!"
"I hoped this was the special edition of the book with pages for the child to fill in at the back."
"I love Dr Seuss but some of the books, this one included, are very difficult to read and are way too wordy."
"Luckily I have some time before the party, so hopefully the replacement item is not damaged or incorrectly put together."
