I Spy Letters

My niece who just turned two, doesn't sit still for a minute. She loved this book. She sat with me through the entire book and was able to pick out all the items. She did so well, I think it's already time to bump her up to the bigger versions.

I purchased I Spy Little Letters for Christmas for my little one because we already have the Little Book and Little Animals board books and my 16 month old absolutely loves them. She will bring those books over to us time and time again to read them and point out the different pictures to us. After having them for about 2 months she is already familiar with every item the book asked her to find as well as some other items on each page. I think that is what is so great about the I spy books because they can become new the more your child learns as you start to talk about more and more things on the page. Since I had not seen a picture of the pages when I purchased it I had different expectations of what it would be so hopefully these pictures will help you decide if it is right for your little one. I haven’t yet given the book to my daughter but based on other reviews I am hopeful that it will help her to learn her ABCs. Here’s what I think so far: What I like most: - only 2 letters per page making it a great INTRO to the alphabet and not too challenging for younger toddlers - A couple items on every page corresponding with the letters so your child can learn more than just one word for each letter. - The letters are large and take up most of the page making them easy to identify - Last page shows all of the letters together allowing you to challenge your child even further to identify the letters and maybe even remember a word that starts with that letter. - A good sized book to bring in a diaper bag - There are no backgrounds that can be distracting and make it hard to find the items (not the case with all I Spy books) - Very inexpensive considering this book will likely be used for a long time - It rhymes!! After thinking hard about any possible drawbacks, the only thing that comes to mind is that all the letters are uppercase and I have been told that it is best to start with lowercase letters since that is what your child will see most when reading.

This is a fun book for a little learner. My son loved it when he was 2 but now it is too easy for 3. This book is a helpful way to learn the alphabet and recognize letters without forcing a lesson. I do wish there were more images to search from on each page though. Still fun though to introduce I SPY books and level up to the bigger books next.

These books are wonderful. We’ve ordered several. Great for young learners

We checked this out for my daughter when she was 15-18 months from the local library. Not only are the photos bright and easy to read, there are only one or two alphabet letters per page with a few items also beginning with the letter. The rhyme is rhythmic and fun to read. My daughter would point to the letter "R" which begins her name and say "rough and rocky R!" (a line from the rhyme) We purchase this book often as a gift for one year olds. It holds their attention, takes little time to read, and the last page is all the alphabet letters side-by-side. They broke the four lines up to follow the "a-b-c" song easily. This book is well thought out and worth every cent. I've only purchased the board book as I put this book in the hands of the earliest readers. If purchasing a paperback copy, you may have a lot of wear in those pages.

We received this book as a gift for my 2 year old son and he LOVES it! This book, more than anything else, has been amazing in helping him identify the alphabet. He is much further ahead regarding his ABCs than his peers and I think this book is the reason. It is much more simple than the other I Spy books that we own and at first this bummed me out, but after reading it over and over, I think the simplicity helps him concentrate on identifying the letters and not getting lost in the objects. I especially like that the objects that are there start with the letter on the same page. For example on the page with the E, there is also an elephant. This gives us lots of cues for further discussion about each letter. The last page is my son's favorite, which has all of the letters and we always sing the ABC song while he points to each letter. I also recommend I Spy Little Numbers.

Not a very good I spy book. That's what I was expecting though. It will be good to teach my almost 1 year old the alphabet and a few things that start with each letter. The rhyming is a bit clunky, not very good poetry rhythm as you're reading it. I spy little numbers was more advanced if you are looking for a bit more challenging book that is still a board book.

Just like the originals just kid friendly. Harder for the little ones to rip up the pages when it’s a board book. Makes for a great gift as well.

This went on sale at a really great price and I ordered it for my 3 year old who was just learning his letters it was a great educational and fun way to review letters

Well written and throws many options for all the letters unlike other letters books. Handy to carry while travelling too.

This is a great book for my five-year-old. Very helpful for children who are just learning to read.

El cartón es suficientemente duro para aguantar el trato de mi hija de 1 año... Buena calidad de impresión y dibujos muy claros.. un libro muy bonito

I grew up with these books in the US. My 3 year loves this as he learns to recognise letters! Lots of fun!
