Product Description
A fun read-aloud for little ones who are learning their ABCs.
It's sleepy time in Alphabet Town. But the twenty-six little letters of the alphabet all have something they need—or want—to do before big-letter moms and dads tuck them in. Not since the classsic Chicka Chicka Boom Boom has there been such an appealing way to teach the youngest child the ABCs while providing a one-minute goodnight story. Of course, Melissa Sweet’s animated watercolor, pencil, and collage illustrations may beg for a little more time to match up all the toys with the right letters, and Judy Sierra’s rollicking rhymed story will want to be heard again and again. Okay, so maybe it’s a three-minute story!

2-year-old loves it! July 17, 2010
Elizabeth E. Nugent (Issaquah, WA USA)
The simplest description of this book is that it is like Chicka Chicka Boom Boom for bedtime. The little letters of the alphabet all have to go to sleep, and their capital letter moms and dads help them get ready for bed. The rhyme is unforced and infectious, and the pictures are very cute. There are lots of details - more to find each time you read it.
My two-year-old is sort of obsessed with the alphabet, so I knew he would like this, but I didn't know how much. I had to read it three or four times a day, minimum, for the first couple of weeks that we had it, and it is still an indispensable part of bedtime a few months later. I would highly recommend it for any child who is learning the alphabet, especially learning lower case. Not only does it have high re-read value for them, it's a book that I'm still willing to read several hundred times later.
The Alphabet comes to story time! June 15, 2010
J. Prather (IN USA)
I don't usually use alphabet books in story time because most just don't flow very well, or there's no story, or it's too wordy. There are lot's of reasons. None of those reasons apply to this one. This is a great read aloud - the illustrations are engaging and the rhyme is just beautifully written. That guy U scores the biggest laugh when he takes off his underwear, but there are plenty of others too. If you are looking for an alphabet book to read aloud and are tired of reading chicka chicka boom boom, grab up this one. It's a great way to teach letters and have lots of fun!

A silly educational/bedtime book that my 3 year old loves. She gets a kick out of all the crazy things the little alphabets are doing. A good start to learing lower case letters.
This is a great ABC book! February 12, 2010

My 2 year old loves this book, we checked it out at the library but he likes it so much that I have to buy it. It has the cutest pictures, and the rhyming story is cute too. My son already has it memorized! And it has definitely helped him learn his ABC's.
This was an adorable, busy little alphabet bedtime book that your preschooler will love! December 13, 2009

It's bedtime in Alphabet town and all the little letters are getting ready to head to bed. Earlier in the day all the letters were running around outside playing. The S was on a swing, the K was flying a kite and the O was turning cartwheels. Everyone was so busy they made themselves tired, except for the letter A . . . "U-oh! A is wide awake." Before all the letters went to bed there were many things to do. Some had to take baths, a few were fidgety and needed stories, there was jumping on the bed and of course "K won't give a kiss good night." Bedtime is a busy time, but some of the little letters don't get ready for bed as easily as others!
This was an adorable, busy little alphabet bedtime book that your preschooler will love. The artwork was alive with little letters just dancing all over the pages, emulating what lots of children go through at night just before they head to bed. I liked the "rub-a-dub d" bath time when three of the letters, a rubber duck and little elephant were splashing around. If you want an educational and fun, fun, fun bedtime book, this is one you might want to consider!
