Twenty-six letters and twenty-six things to do, which is a rather different proposition from twenty-six things to look at.

Each letter is paired with an action — roaring like a lion, waddling like a penguin — and the child's name is printed through the pages. Attaching a movement to a letter is how the alphabet gets into a body rather than only into a memory, and bodies at this age are considerably more reliable than memories. Softcover.

It is learning that refuses to sit still, which will suit some evenings and not others. Use it earlier in the day if bedtime is the goal. At the right hour it is the version of the alphabet a child volunteers for rather than tolerates, and that volunteering is the whole difference.
