With Dr. Seuss as your guide, learning the alphabet is as easy as A, B, C.
BIG R, little r,
what begins with R?
Rosy’s red rhinoceros.
R…r…R
From Aunt Annie’s Alligator to Rosy’s red rhinoceros to a Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz, learning the alphabet is bound to be fun with Dr. Seuss. And with this small, sturdy board-book version of his classic ABC book (Dr. Seuss’s ABC), even the tiniest tots can indulge in a little alphabetical education. Each letter is featured with Dr. Seuss’s unmistakably nonsensical illustrations and text: “Lion with a lollipop,” “Camel on the ceiling,” “Uncle Ubb’s umbrella and his underwear, too.” The youngest readers-to-be will get lots of letter practice with the repetitive use of each letter and the easy-to-memorize rhythmic rhymes. Soon your favorite preschooler will be reading this book aloud to you! (Baby to preschool) –Emilie Coulter

Review by R. Smith for Dr. Seuss’s ABC: An Amazing Alphabet Book!

The board book verisions of Dr. Suess and other books from the beginning reader series are terrible abridged and watered down versions of the originals. Most of the fun of the rhymes is lost. They even changed some of the letters completely (including the pictures.) With as many as four letters of the alphabet crowded on a single page, it is too much and too detailed for an infant or toddler to focus on. Get the original and don’t worry about a few ripped pages.

My daughter has had this book since she was 6 months old (she’s 15 months old now) and it is her favorite book, I have read it so many times that I have it memorized. She brings it to me to read at least 3 times a day. Her copy got so worn from all the hugs and taking it everywhere with her that I had to buy a new one. The longer version is great but board books are better when you have a small one.

The original book is great, but this edition has been butchered beyond belief. All the original pictures have been preserved, but the text has been chopped up to fit into the size limits of the format. For example, P: “Painting Pink Pajamas, Policeman in a a Pail. Peter Pepper’s puppy. And now Papa’s in the pail.” becomes “Painting some pajamas pink. P…p…P.” Spend the money and get the full-sized version.

Welcome to the wonderful world of whimsical, wacky writing, and crazy, colorful caricatures – “Big Q, little q what begins with Q? The quick Queen of Quincy and her quacking quacker-oo.” An excellent educational tool, “Dr. Seuss’s ABC An Amazing Alphabet Book!” is an inspired introduction to the alphabet, both upper and lowercase letters, and also reinforces letter sounds through alliteration. The text, format, and images have been adapted to accommodate board book standards; yet, the phrasing and prose, in this particular volume still flow. See the following excerpts: The original –
“BIG V, little v
Vera Violet Vinn
Is very, very, very awful on her violin.”Revised edition –
“BIG V, little v, what begins with V?
Verna Vera Vin and her violet violin.”I am flabbergasted by the lack of enthusiasm for the revised board book editions of Dr. Seuss’s (and others) “Beginner Books” published by Random House. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to offer my infant son a CLASSIC narrative, by means of a board book, even in its ADAPTED form. These magical miniatures are delightfully entertaining for little babies, who enjoy the positive interaction of cooperative play through reading. The objectives of these small books are to appeal to newborns, and very young children with short attention spans who are not attentive enough for the full text versions, they are NOT meant to replace the originals. Moreover, these pocketsize gems are fashioned for effortless travel to the market, on a plane, in the car, or on a train. Hee, hee.I own most of Dr. Seuss’s first editions, in addition to a few of the board book volumes, and agree that the original “Beginner Books” are just that – ORIGINAL. They are more amusing, entertaining, and educational, but are in fact more appropriate for older children, 4 years and older. I believe introducing infants to creative works, such as these, only encourages listening and learning from an earlier age. In summary, if your child is three or older purchase an original version, otherwise think of introducing your infant to the shorter, travel-anywhere format, and procure the original at a later date. The marvelous, magical magician, who was Dr. Seuss is worth it! Birth and up.

The board book is an abridged version of the original Dr. Seuss’s ABC. The original is wonderful, my one-year-old’s favorite book (and used to be one of mine), but the board book doesn’t have the same great rhythm.
