I highly recommend Alaska 123: Colors and Numbers by Shannon Cartwright as a delightful and educational introduction to numbers and colors for young readers. This charming board book combines rhyming text with vibrant illustrations of Alaskan wildlife, making learning both fun and engaging. The book not only teaches basic counting and color recognition but also offers a glimpse into Alaska’s rich natural heritage, making it a perfect choice for parents and educators aiming to blend show more foundational learning with cultural appreciation. show less

This is an excellent concept book that allows students to not only learn the alphabet, but they also learn animals that coincide with a specific letter. This is a great book for younger students who are just learning the alphabet because essentially they are learning two things at the same time. It is also a rather funny book because they give humorous examples of bears with certain letters.

Having never been to Alaska (yet), this book allowed me to go past the contiguous United States and travel to a land that I can only dream of for the moment. I enjoyed flipping through the pages and taking in the beautifully illustrated drawings, all the while learning about the different types of wildlife found there. At the end of the book, there is even a glossary that further describes all of the wildlife previously referenced throughout the book. I think that this would be a fun and show more educational book for both parents and children alike. show less

The book was good for a quick read through. it is centered on her cat 'Danger' and is written to rhyme. I love Libby Riddles and what she has accomplished. All aspects of the book were only ok for me.
