    We like ‘Alphabet Adventure’ and the following books, ‘Alphabet Rescue’ and ‘Alphabet Mystery’ by Audrey Wood and Bruce Wood around here. The little letters work as a team to solve problems with tools that begin with their letter. They are fun stories and the pictures are delightful.

    ‘A You’re Adorable’ is an illustrated version (by Martha Alexander) of the old Buddy Kaye song that we love to read and sing together.

    Finally, and I believe this is on your list – ‘A Was Once an Apple Pie’.

    We have been reading all of these for years and no one seems to be growing tired of them, even those of us who have mastered the alphabet and reading. (And this comes from a Mom and Dad who have been known to ‘hide’ books so the kids can’t find them because WE are sick of reading them over and over and over…

    Thanks again for these lists!
