Exploring the Alphabet with “See, Touch, Feel: ABC”
As a mom, I’ve had my fair share of bedtime reading struggles. Occasionally, all I want is a peaceful moment with my little ones as we snuggle close, but their wiggly bodies can turn quiet time into chaos! Recently, I stumbled upon See, Touch, Feel: ABC: A First Sensory Alphabet Book by Priddy Books, and I knew it was worth a try. It promised not just to teach the alphabet, but to engage their little senses. And let me tell you, it didn’t just meet our needs; it became a delightful part of our nightly routine!
This charming board book celebrates 25 years of Priddy Books, designed to inspire a love of learning in young children. It features a vibrant array of textures and brightly illustrated pages made with footprints, handprints, and whimsical photographs. Each page introduces a letter of the alphabet along with a core first word that just oozes playfulness, making it perfect for kiddos between the ages of 0-2.
From the moment I opened the book, my kids’ eyes widened with curiosity. The first page, illustrating the letter “A” with an adorable apple, immediately drew my toddler in. Each page offers something new to explore, be it a soft surface or a colorful image, and the rhyming text had us giggling together. My five-year-old couldn’t resist completing the simple, playful phrases. “B is for ball, bouncing all around!” echoed through our cozy living room, but honestly, our laughter was the greatest sound.
The illustrations are a feast for little eyes. The colors are bold and inviting, and I appreciate how each tactile element is thoughtfully incorporated. My younger child, just learning to grasp, loved running her fingers over the raised letters and textures—I could see the wheels turning in her little mind. She practiced her fine motor skills, while my older child had fun guessing the next word on the page or choosing which letter we’d explore next. For us, it’s not just a book; it was a bridge connecting us in shared discovery.
One moment I’ll forever treasure happened when my son, very matter-of-factly, declared, “Mom, I think Z is for zany!” as he pointed to the “Z” page. I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Who doesn’t need a little "zany" in their life, especially amidst the sweet chaos of parenting?
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend See, Touch, Feel: ABC to families with babies and toddlers. If your little ones are tactile explorers, this sensory book is bound to engage them in joyful learning. It’s sturdy, vibrant, and built to withstand the curious hands of your little ones as they flip through the pages. Whether you’re entrenched in the early years or looking for a thoughtful baby shower gift, this book is a gem! It has seamlessly woven its way into our reading nook, becoming a cherished favorite that sparks both learning and laughter.
So if you’re looking for a book that offers quality family time while encouraging those early alphabet skills, this one is an absolute must-have! I can’t wait to share it with other parents in our circle, and who knows—maybe it brings a little sparkle to your home too.
