Baby-Toddler–This bright alphabet board book takes children through the letters A to Z with fun spring-themed scenes. Each page includes a stylized alphabet letter and a clever scene, such as a hen in a hat hatching an egg or worms watering a window box. Some pages are a stretch; children might not recognize the Oriole in an orange tree, but the overall cheerfulness, vintage charm of the illustrations, and vivid palette will carry them through.
VERDICT A festive ABC journey—the fun is pointing out the letter words and delighting in the sweet illustrations as they move through the season of blossoming.
