Alphabet, STEAM, flora and fauna - I used this one for preschool storytime and although I think it's a good book that I would recommend to parents and caregivers, I would not use this one for a virtual storytime. This would be great for reading to a little one. Some robust flower and animal names and I didn't feel like I could do justice to them. I would have liked to have been able to show pictures of a narwhal and a nasturtium. (Had to check the spelling on that one).

Good for younger students (k-1). uses some words to describe letters that might be confusing.
