A
Is For Animals

This was one of my oldest son's first
books and has been loved by each of my children in succession.

At age one, children can just have fun with the animals and then
at age four they can use the book to help learn the A,B,C's.

Complete Adventures Of Curious George
By: Margaret and H.A. Rey
Houghton Mifflin Company, 1995
Ages: Four and up
George is a monkey whose curiosity
is always getting him into trouble. Follow George as he travels
from Africa to the New World, where he delights adults and children
alike. This book is a collection of all his adventures. I highly
recommend them all, however, I find that Curious
George Learns the Alphabet is a bit long for one sitting.
