What a wonderful book for little boys of any age! The simple rhymes and large, bold illustrations make this book appealing to babies and toddlers. This is not an ordinary ABC book. The author is a psychologist who understands the need to develop a sense of self worth and love at an early age. Instead of pairing alphabet letters with a familiar object, Mazor chooses virtues and patterns of behavior. Children will understand because each is paired with a simple, concrete example. Here is the rhyme for letter K. "I gave my toy to Lilly May Who broke her foot the other day I am happy, you see I am kindhearted me." The author has written a companion volume for little girls with similar rhymes. These books do not display gender bias. I would suggest that parents and caretakers read this book frequently as a read aloud or bedtime story to reinforce these values. Children will delight in hearing these rhymes because they are so pleasing to the ear.
