I would use this book to help young children with the alphabet.

This was always one of my favorite books a a young child; I can remeber reading it in class! It is a fun way of learning the alphabet as a child. It is full of ryhmes and riddles that are fun for kids while learning.

This book is a perfect book to read to someone who is learning their alphabet. I remember learning this rhyme when i was younger and it was something that i could never forget. ( )

Book description
A great alphabet book with a great beat to it. The rhythm, antics and repetitive refrain draws in the reader. A cute first introduction to upper and lower case letters.
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 068983568X, Paperback)

The 26 characters in this rhythmic, rhyming baby book are a lowercase alphabet with attitude. "A told b, and b told c, 'I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree'"--which probably seemed like a good idea until the other 23 members of the gang decided to follow suit. Lois Ehlert's chunky block illustrations show the luxuriant green palm standing straight and tall on the first page, but it begins to groan and bend under its alphabetical burden. First the coconuts fall off, then ("Chicka chicka... BOOM! BOOM!") all the letters also end up in a big heap underneath. A very simple board-book version stops there, but this original text goes on to introduce the helping hands of the 26 uppercase "mamas and papas and uncles and aunts." (Baby to preschool) --Richard Farr
