Product Description

A fun read-aloud for little ones who are learning their ABCs.

It's sleepy time in Alphabet Town. But the twenty-six little letters of the alphabet all have something they need—or want—to do before big-letter moms and dads tuck them in. Not since the classsic Chicka Chicka Boom Boom has there been such an appealing way to teach the youngest child the ABCs while providing a one-minute goodnight story. Of course, Melissa Sweet’s animated watercolor, pencil, and collage illustrations may beg for a little more time to match up all the toys with the right letters, and Judy Sierra’s rollicking rhymed story will want to be heard again and again. Okay, so maybe it’s a three-minute story!

“Using humor perfectly tuned for the two- to five-year-old audience, Sierra and Sweet’s alphabet book will capture the attention of the younger end . . . as well as the older.’”

Too cute!
This is a great book to read to the kids at bedtime. Its got great illustrations...and is absolutely adorable that the capital letters (mom & dad) put the baby letters (lowercase) to sleep...how stinkin' cute! ;) A definite must have for those that like ABC and bedtime books...

Cute Bedtime Story
This latest children's book by Judy Sierra is a great bedtime story with wonderful illustrations. So imaginative using the alphabet with Big and Small letters. If you like this book, another bedtime story with colorful illustrations is Ladybug Baby Bug. You'll enjoy both of these children's books as a welcome pair to your homecollection.

Great Bedtime Story
I purchased this book for my grandson's third birthday. He loved the book and wanted it read to him ten times the first night! It continues to be a favorite of his.
