HALL WAYS REVIEW: This is such a visually appealing book! It is simple, brightly colored, and is illustrated with unique critters (some familiar, some fantastical) that will amuse readers. Sometimes the color schemes on the pages are complementary and other times they sharply contrast, but the use of color really makes the pages pop.
Each page shows the letter of the alphabet in both lower and upper case, and the text generally has multiple examples of the different sounds each letter makes. ("G is for George, the ghost made of goop.") The text is fairly parallel in structure throughout the book and there's a somewhat lyrical sound to it. The critters all have the same eyes but in a variety of colors. And the critters are adorable! Kids will wish for plush versions.
I absolutely can't wait for this book to be published in print (later this year), as that's how I think children will most enjoy it. It would really make a good board book, too. There's just something about being able to hold the book and flip the pages and hug your favorite critter. That said, the eBook is certainly engaging and entertaining, and I highly recommend it as an alternative to the basic ABC books found on bookshelves.
Thank you to the author for providing me a download in exchange for my honest opinion -- the only kind I give. This full review and more on Hall Ways Blog http://kristinehallways.blogspot.com/...

Cute critters...
This is a colorful and fun alphabet book that offers a unique critter for each letter. My only concern is that only lower case letters are shown even though their names begin with a capital letter. This would be confusing for the beginning reader.
My 3-year-old granddaughter and I enjoyed this book.

A delightful ABC learning book for young readers. Having read this book to my visiting 3 year old great niece Dalliah and 4 year old Gregory. They thoroughly enjoyed the rhyming verse and colorful illustrations. I read it to them three out of the four nights they stayed with me, the last two at their request. Although I found the illustrations similar their were enough changes to keep the children's attention. I would say it was definitely written for preschool ages 3-5. It is a quick read for all to enjoy and share. Even my 6 year old great nephew, Grant, enjoyed reading it to his brother and sister. Learning your ABC's can be fun.
My rating of ABC was 4.25 out of 5 stars.

Everyone loves making friends. But, what about making new and interesting friends, while at the same time learning your ABC’s?
Paul McDougall has taken the twenty-six letters of the alphabet and transformed them into twenty-six unique characters with whimsical traits for the properly titled book, ‘ABC’. You have ‘N’ for Nelson who goes by the adorable nickname, ‘Noodles’. Then there is Elle the erupting volcano. Careful, you do not want to make her mad, “Boom! Fizz! Boosh!” And zany Xavier, the x-ray taker, who loves to show off dem’ bones.
The illustrations in ‘ABC’ are colorful in appearance, as well as personality when it comes to each individual character. Mr. McDougall tosses in bits of whit, assuring that the cast are quite memorable, along with their matching alphabet letter. This is certain to help any child learn their ABC’s with occasional laughter tossed into the mix.
Adding the book ‘ABC’ to your child’s collection of learning material is as easy as 1-2-3.
Currently ABC is available in Kindle format. This book would also make an excellent hands-on, board book due to its vibrant colors, lovable characters and clever writing.
