My Buddy Knows...Letters

My students loved this book. They loved identifying the pictures. The bright front cover was appealing for the children. They looked at this book for weeks while it was in our classroom library.

This is a cute book of learning what letter each item starts with. Buddy looks a little weird, but it is a cute book about learning letters.

This is a fun children's picture book that is suitable for babies, toddlers and very young children. It shows a friend called Buddy who presents the alphabet and each letter has one item that relates to it. The illustrations are very bright and colourful, which babies will love. My daughter and I enjoyed this book and we will read it again. I liked the way in which the child can guess what the item is and which letter is at the beginning of the word before there is a reveal which shows the correct answer. This is, in my opinion, what makes it also suitable for young children and not just for babies and toddlers.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Me and and my 4 year old have sat reading this afternoon and she absolutely loved it!
She managed to know what most of the letters were although W confused her as she has never seen a walrus or heard it mentioned before!
Cute little book that would be suitable for younger babies that you could read and point for them, or like I did with my 4 year old who actually read it to me .

An ABC Book that Gets Them Guessing

This is a brightly colorful, simply illustrated ABC book for toddlers and very young children. There is not much to each page, but a silly cartoon of Buddy shows up from different angles on every other page. As is a problem with most ABC books, the author has chosen the typical objects, like A is for apple or D is for dog. I do wish authors of such books were a little more creative. What makes this book more fun, though, is that each letter is given 2 pages, and the author does not provide the name of the object until the second page. This allows the child to guess what the object might be first, before it is revealed. I absolutely love that idea for an ABC book. I have reviewed a number of them, and I haven't seen that before. I wish other ABC books did that as it is good for interaction and object recognition.

A simple colorful explosion into the Alphabet world, where kids learn their letters and connect them with items around. A wonderful no-fluff educative kidilit that introduces kids to their alphabet and identifying new words through pictures.

I thought that this book was excellent.

My daughter is three and we are leaving her ABCs and letters at the moment.

I liked the images used and the different words used too.

It is 4 stars from me for this one – highly recommended and a fun read!

Cute alphabet story. My daughter likes the character. The book shows the child the picture first and then you turn the page to see the letter and word. It is a great teaching tool for early literacy skills
