Our Review

This alphabet book brings the whimsical world of Roald Dahl to early literacy with Quentin Blake's distinctive illustrations guiding young readers through letter recognition. Each page pairs a clear, bold letter with Dahl-inspired characters and concepts, from Fantastic Mr. Fox to the Enormous Crocodile, creating immediate engagement for children familiar with these stories. The sturdy board book format withstands enthusiastic handling while introducing foundational reading skills through beloved literary figures.

What sets this apart from standard ABC books is how it builds literary familiarity alongside alphabet mastery, allowing children to encounter Dahl's imaginative universe before they're ready for chapter books. The pairing of Blake's energetic sketches with simple word associations creates multiple entry points for different learning styles. Parents who cherish Dahl's storytelling will particularly appreciate this introduction to his characters, making letter learning feel like visiting old friends rather than a lesson.
