Review Detail

Now You Know Your ABCs (Or Do You?) is a clever exploration of the ABC’s while evading a wolf. My young reader enjoyed the invitation to participate in the story by repeating the example words given for A,B,C. Then the story derails at D when a wolf takes the place of the expected dog and each letter after directly pretends the reader is in the story escaping the wolf. The humor, invitation to participate, and the clever incorporation of the alphabet presented in an unfamiliar way would make this book an excellent read aloud for preschool through early elementary readers. The illustrations and simple text would also support emerging readers. Overall, this book was a lot of fun and one I will be keeping for the next time I have a group for read aloud.
