Kids are naturally drawn to the colorful illustrations and game-like activities in this wipe-off book, and their progress through its pages is a happy and productive one. The Sock Monkey theme (their adorably familiar faces appear on almost every page like little helpers) creates a sense of comfort and continuity. The book makes exceptional use of visual presentation as a means of engaging children and enhancing their learning. And the activities themselves incorporate just the right amount of variation and repetition to reinforce one another. Kids name objects in pictures before tracing and writing the first letter of the words just spoken, draw lines to connect matching letter pairs in a variety of contexts, find and circle letters hidden in a picture, follow a maze of letters from a to z, and connect pictures that start with the same letter. There's a great deal more, and to children working their way through the book, it's a smorgasbord of fun. To parents wanting to boost their child's learning, it's a godsend.
