It's never too early to get your babies chewing on books and ruminating on the alphabet, and children of all ages enjoy the company of H.A. Rey's intrepid monkey, Curious George. In this board book, the letter itself mimics the shape of the animal or object in question. The A is actually the gaping jaw of the alligator, the B is the head and body of the big blue bird, and so on. Youngsters will delight in finding a tiny Curious George, just about to get into mischief throughout the book. Board Book. Illustrated by H.A. Rey. Ages 2 and up.
