Review: Great New Alphabet Book

"H is for Halloween" by Sharlene Alexander is a unique take on the old standard, "A is for Apple" alphabet books we all learned from. In this colorful book, each letter is represented by some character or symbol of Halloween. That should make the book a lot more fun for children learning the alphabet. The images are quite colorful, and drawn with a focus on comical rather than scary. I really think children will enjoy this book, more than perhaps any alphabet book I've seen to date. This will be much more appealing if shown on a color device, rather than just a black and white device. When I first started reading it on my Kindle Fire HD I held it in the upright, or portrait, position, and it did not format correctly. However, when I switched to the horizontal, or landscape, mode it was formatted perfectly.This is a top choice for your youngsters ready to start learning their basic reading skills. I think it's a great buy.
