This book has a cut out feel for each letter, which makes it nice to trace the letters. Then each window opens up and you can kind of guess the word based on the sound of the letter. I first tried this book out at the library and really liked it which is why I bought it.The ONLY improvement is that they should have included the lowercase of each letter. My school complained how many kids today don't know their ABCs in abc form, and how many can only write their names in capital letters. Putting both of them on each page would have really been best.
We have a daughter who has had NO interest in learning her letters until THIS book. She's 4 1/2 so it was definitely time to get started. Our other kids showed and interest much earlier but it just hasn't been her thing. She learned all of her letters after just a couple of weeks of receiving this book. She loves tracing the letter with her finger and opening all of the hidden treasures. It's a great start to learning what sounds letters make also-highly recommend.
Great for little princesses. About 3-6 years old probably. I've bought 3 copies (one was destroyed by little curious sister). So, a replacement, plus one for my daughters friend. It's great they can trace the letters with finger, and lift multiple flaps per page. Keeps them quite busy. But may need help with initial opening of flaps. And the under $10 price was right.
The author/publishing house missed an opportunity here to really engage the young reader by adding action in their drawings under the tabs. Instead of just doing the same picture under those tabs and just adding a word, they could have changed the picture as well. Compare this to the "Little People" series where there is additional action under every tab on each page. I've seen my daughter revisit those books over and over again on her own, and describe the action happening under each of those tabs. That said, buy this if your daughter likes Disney princesses a lot, and you can just spend the time just describing the illustration on each page. Not as interactive, but for the collector of Disney princess items, those are still lovely illustrations.
Great investment. I love the amount of pages and the "finger-trace" letters. All of the little flaps are nice, but my daughter is too young to enjoy them. She likes when flaps have something different underneath. These have the same image, but the word of the thing on the underside of the flap. That's the only downside, but as mentioned - she's just too young for it. I think she'll definitely enjoy it more when she is older.
Got this for my 3 yr old to help her learn her letters. It's a big hit, especially since she is obsessed with princesses. It's exactly as pictured, with flaps on each page. It is good for early readers too.
I bought this at TJ maxx on clearance. I'm building a library for my baby girl who just turned a year old, so I only give 4 stars since I can't give a complete review based on lack of reading level. I love that Tiana is included in this book. The pages are large and beautifully drawn. It's a large-size sturdy board book that outlines tracing the alphabet, incorporating sentences using the sounds of the coordinating letters on each page and the flaps indicate the word associates with the letter and the picture highlighted. It's great! I agree that the lower case letter should have been included with the trace feature but the words on the flaps are lowercase so perhaps one solution might be to have your child practice writing those words or perhaps have them practice drawing the matching lowercase letter from memory. It's a beautiful book - I think every little princess should have one of these
My 2 year old is so into Disney Princesses so when I found this book, I LOVED it and so does she. It's a large board book and there are pictures of all the princesses in it, including all the main ones like Cinderella, Belle, Aurora, Rapunzel, Ariel, and some of the less popular ones like Tiana and Mulan to introduce my daughter to them. I love that each princess has multiple pages/scenes dedicated to her, including scenes from their movies like Cinderella and her carriage and Rapunzel in the boat watching the lanterns. The illustrations are vibrant and engaging. I love that each page has 4-6 flaps to lift that starts with that particular letter, so it's fun to learn new vocabulary and also helps learn letter-sound association. Each page also has a sentence to describe what the princess is doing so there's text in addition to the flaps and letters.Most of all, I love that each letter of the alphabet has a die cut letter for her to trace with her finger so she learns how to write the letters for when she gets a bit older. My only criticism of this book is that they only include the capital letter and I wish they also had the lower case version of each letter next to it. We love this book and read it all the time!
