Reviews

[Loraine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another good book for reviewing letter sounds and relating them to books and reading. My grandson enjoyed finding the letter p and identifying known pictures whose name started with the sound and learning new objects (such as piglet).

This book is one in a series of books that concentrate on one letter of the alphabet and in this one, it is the letter P.

In this one, Little P decides he wants to fill up th box with items that begin with the letter P.

Little ones will like the use of the same letter and will enjoy learning so many new words.

The only thing that I don't like are the pictures. For little ones, it is important for the pictures to be special; especially in a vocabulary book like this one.

This was another book in the letter series. Again, my five-year-old son liked that he could read almost all of the book -- including the title. Again, I was underwhelmed by the story and the illustrations.
