Alphablock (an Abrams Block Book) - Board Book

by Christopher Franceschelli (Author), Peski Studio (Illustrator)

Learning the alphabet is as easy as A, B, C in Alphablock, a unique and bestselling interactive favorite. Young readers will explore letters in an exciting way, from A to Z.

With thick pages cut into the shape of each letter, children and parents will enjoy this peek-through guessing game.

Sprinkles, hot fudge, and cherries hint at I's ice-cream sundae, while aquarium accessories hint at F's fish. As young readers interact with the pages, they'll familiarize themselves not only with the 26 letters and associated words, but also with each letter's physicality--angles, holes, and curves, both front and back.

Like other titles in the beloved Block Book series, Alphablock features die-cut shapes throughout and sturdy pages with rounded corners, perfect for little hands. With bright, animated, retro-inspired artwork by Peski Studio, Alphablock encourages the smallest readers to manipulate the alphabet in a whole new way and is a must-have ABC book.

Your child will have so much fun reading this book, they won't realize learning the alphabet is part of their education!
