A Pagan Book of ABCs

by Shanddaramon

Children need learning tools to help them understand basic concepts such as the letters of the alphabet. Such learning tools should be simple, easy, and have plenty of colorful images to help young minds remember the concepts introduced. This book helps introduce children to their ABCs but it also introduces some basic Pagan concepts as well. Besides having bright and colorful images of things that are represented by each letter of the alphabet, the text and pictures also introduce young children to ideas such as the eight Sabbats, the four Elements, the four quarters (or directions), male and female deities, and the pentagram. Other important learning tools are stressed as well including shapes, colors, and numbers. Letters from some different alphabets have also been added to the book to promote an acceptance of other systems of communicating through language. The end of the book includes fun and interesting activities based on the concepts introduced throughout. With this book, young Pagans can learn and have fun.

I think it's exactly what it needs to be and just just a bit more. I like it.

Definitely a disappointment when you read what the author was hoping to get with this book.

When you plan on making a book for children, especially an ABC book, you should include some pictures for your young audience. Also with the subject matter within this book a great illustrator would have made all the difference with some beautiful artwork but unfortunately this was more a list of rhymes with a capital and lowercase letter in bold to show what letter you were on.

The other thing this book needed was a bit more of an explanation of a few of the subjects for a child wouldn't know understand what Ostara, Imbolc or Samhain were. Definitely a book with promise but it needs to be worked on first.

As the name implies, this is a nice little book to teach a child the ABCs that is presented with pagan words in mind. Nice rhymes to help the child as well while still incorporating what the words (Sabbats, etc) mean.

It's cute the way it's written, but a child's ABC book with no illustrations??? I know it was a free Kindle download, but that seems lacking. Still, it could be enough to spark some conversation between parent and child.

Adorable!

I will gladly and with a full heart be sharing this poetry with my children! glad to see something for those of us who are not specifically Wiccan and define ourselves as Pagan!

This book is not an "activity book" like the description stated originally. It's simply a book of ABCs alongside a list of other "books" the author has written. Nothing really note worthy- and only vaguely useful for children.

I wished this had pictures to go with the sayings. At least my copy didn't have pictures.

Good learning tool for any pagan parents that want to teach your children in accordance with your faith.

I'll be using this if and when I become a parent.

Basic book but filled with insight

Great words to remember and live by. Pictures would give it life and something for the children to grasp better.

It's cute, but that's it. Just an ABC book of rhyme, I expected more. :-(
