Fingertrail abc

by Felicity Brooks

This delightful book allows little children to take a fingertip journey through the alphabet, following a trail from acrobatic anteaters to zebras on zipwires. Charming illustrations, novelty die-cut elements and quirky themes combine to make this an engaging, interactive abc, introducing children to the shapes and sounds of the alphabet. Tracing the letter shapes with their fingers is a fun way for children to learn lower-case letter formations before they start to write. Helps children build vocabulary, recognize letters and begin to associate letter shapes and sounds. An appealing introduction to alphabetical order.

When you spend a day with 4-year olds, you end up reading a lot of their books to them. And you love every minute of it. 💜

This is a great board book to help very young children learn the letter shapes and sounds.They can trace over the letters with their fingers.
There are great illustrations throughout the book with lots of alliteration to help children learn the sounds associated with each letter. There is a 'cool cat in a car' and a 'rabbit in a rocket'
A fab introduction to early letters and sounds! There is also an upper case book which also looks great. This will come in very handy with my 2 year old!

My son loved it when he was 2 years old. He didn't really trace anything then though and he's no longer interested now that he's 3.5... I'm not sure if I just introduced it too early.

While I was reading out loud, daughter was tracing the letters and looking at the illustrations.
