Parents are advised to start teaching the alphabet to children from an early age. One way to learn the alphabet is through children’s picture books. Learning Is Great! by Naomi Sainz is an alphabet book in which each letter is accompanied by a picture, so the child can remember letters and words more easily.

In this book, each letter is listed with a photograph of the object that starts with that letter. The complete alphabet is listed at the very beginning of the book. Also, each photo is accompanied by a corresponding uppercase and lowercase letter. In addition, the book is divided into special categories that display photographs of different shapes, numbers, coins, and colors.

The book is very simple and allows children to recognize every letter, word, and photo. I really like that a corresponding photo is shown next to each letter. In addition, I like that the author includes a category of money, so children can start recognizing different forms of money from an early age.

The main problem I have with this book is the fact that it is too simple. The book offers nothing original or special compared to other similar books. It would have been much more interesting if the author had incorporated some kind of story into it. In addition, the book ends abruptly without any conclusion or word from the author.

All things considered, I rate this book 2 out of 4 stars. It is too simple and unoriginal to be given a higher rating. The biggest plus are photos of various objects that can help children memorize letters. Additionally, I did not encounter any grammatical errors. I would recommend this book to parents of young children because I think it can be a good way to start teaching children the alphabet in a fun way.

This book will be very suitable for children of nursery and primary school ages. It will get them acquainted with the alphabets and what they stand for early enough. Great review.

Children are visual learners and that's why they would enjoy this one.

This sounds like a good learning tool for kids, but it’s unfortunate that there’s nothing setting it apart from other. Thanks for the great review!
