Learn the Alphabet is an ebook that can be used with children to introduce them to the alphabet and the sounds letters make.  The book is broken down into four levels, which roughly correspond to a child's age.  Level 1, Pictures and Letters, is for babies to age one, and is intended to introduce babies to books.  Level 2, Big and Small Letters, is appropriate for kids up to age two and shows the letters along with a picture of an object beginning with that letter.  Level 3, Name and Match the Letters, is an interactive section where kids are asked to match the upper case letter with its corresponding lower case letter.  If incorrect, a sad suitcase appears saying, "Oops, that's not correct.  Try again."  Finally, in level four, kids are asked to find the correct picture which represents the sound of the letter.The pictures are all big and colorful, which children will enjoy.  The concept of the four levels is also good.  In level one, a rhyming text is provided, so babies can hear a spoken language. (Example:  "This is a Car.  A Car will not fit in a jar.)  My only criticism of this section would be first, that children would have no idea what a jar is, since no picture of that is given.  And second, that some of the words might be too advanced for a four year old who might want to listen to the text. (Example:  "This is the moon.  Sometimes the moon will swoon."  "Swoon" would be the word in question.)  Other than that, Learn the Alphabet is a very good ebook to introduce kids to the alphabet and allow them to get aquainted with the Kindle.
