THIS ONE IS OVER 50 NOW AND STILL AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT AND USEFUL TOO.
This review is addressing the original version of this book.Readers should take note that there have been several versions printed throughout the years; some good, some not so good.If at all possible, stick with this original.

I am very fond of alphabet books, something I have sort of collected over the years.I am also extremely fond of Dr. Seuss, so I suppose that in my case I simply could not go wrong with this one.My wife and I also used this particular work to work with both of our children when they were learning to read and learning their alphabet, and it was one of their favorites.

Seuss of course uses many of his strange and wonderful characters throughout the entire work and of course he uses some of his rather off-beat words and syntax also.I really would advise that an adult read this one with the younger child as some of the words, and indeed, illustrations may take some explaining.

"Willy Waterloo
washes Warren Wiggins
who is
washing Waldo Woo."

"O is very useful.
You use it when you say:
`Oscar's only ostrich
oiled
an orange owl today."

These are but two example of how Dr. Seuss has use letters and both, as are all the letters, are accompanied by delightfully typical Seuss illustrations.

This work is approximately 50 years old as of this writing and I must say that it suffers not one bit from age.It is as valid and exciting now as it was way back then.

The Genius Book!
This book did teach my son the alphabet--by the time he was 20 months old he was reading all the letters on vehicle license plates as we'd walk through a parking lot. At the local Toddler Health Check Day, he read all the letters on the eye-chart while giggling--and the nurses said he would be way too young to do that! They were amazed--I give credit to Yolanda and Waldo and....

Disappointing abridged version
The publishers decided to make this board book tiny, only about 3x4".To fit the original into this small space, they compressed it a good bit.Nixie Knox is gone, as are many of the other fun Seuss-isms.Illustrations have been cut.Multiple pages from the original appear on a single tiny page together.In short, my child enjoys playing with the pages and I don't worry about them being torn, but I do so wish they'd published this in a normal size with all the original content.It's a great disappointment in this presentation.

A Memorable, Fun Alphabet Book
This is a memorable alphabet book, populated with real and imaginary animals, and written in Dr. Seuss's witty, rhythmic, rhyming style.Each letter comes with its own short vignette, allowing for a regular sense of accomplishment for beginning readers, who will also appreciate the clever alliteration for each letter, as in ""Many mumbling mice are making midnight music in the moonlight... mighty nice."It's certainly not great literature, but so fun to read that it can almost make the reader forget he is learning a new skill.

Love it!
I got this book because I had tried to teach my daughter the alphabet with games and incentives but she always seemed to lose interest, which made it feel like a chore for both of us. I then researched alphabet books and came across this one. I thought: if anyone could get her interested, it would HAVE to be Dr Seuss, and it did! She loves this book, specially, the silliness in it. That has been what keeps her interested in it. She even insists on being the one that says which letter I am reading about. Would definitely recommend to other parents who are looking for a fun way to teach their kids the alphabet. ... Read more

A book I loved as a child is now my daughters favorite.
I loved this book when I was a toddler and now my daughter loves it. This book is fun and easy to read even for young children. Much better than the similar A and C books.

Thanks soo much, item got to me on time for x-mas and it was in mint condition.

B Book
The book was excellent. We bought eleven copies which arrived in a single container. Instead of a single shipping charge of $3.95 , we were charged for each item in the box-0ver $44. I have already paid this excessive amount. Is it possible to get a refund or credit on my next purchase.

These are a no-brainer
I don't think you can really go wrong with a Berenstain Bears book.Too bad this particular one is not currently in print.

not satisfied
I ordered books on 7/27. When they did not arrive by 8/20 I notified the company and was told they had lost my order due to a computer breakdown. My order was due to be sent out that day. Now, 9/8, I still have no books and I am again told they will ship my books today!. I should have received express, overnight delivery the first time the error was discovered. No recompense was offered, no special delivery arranged. This is not good customer service. "I'm sorry" doesn't cover the inconvenience. I can't speak to the condition of the product. I don't have the books yet! ... Read more

From Apple to Zipper
I am an owner of a signed copy of this book. It is a treasure. I am disappointed that it is no longer published. A friend just had a baby and I hoped to give this book and poster as a gift.

From Apple to Zipper
Great book!My son loves this book and so do I!You will find a picture for each letter, but not just the typical "A is for Apple, B is for Box . . ."In this book the apple is in the shape of an"A", the crayon like a "C".I especially liked"Q" and "R".For a visual learner struggling to linkletters with their sounds, this may just be the ticket! ...
