Additional How to Build an A Information
|
Don't just learn your letters—build them!
It's a book, it's a puzzle—and best of all, it's a way to learn the ABCs. Sara Midda's delightful How to Build an A comes with 11 fully safety-tested EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) pieces that can be pushed together to build all the letters of the alphabet, uppercase and lowercase. In the accompanying book, Midda, the British artist known for her charming watercolors, shows children the way. Each page introduces a new letter—A is for Apple, B is for Boy—and is illustrated with Midda's tiny people, who are shown comically hauling and heaving the pieces into place. Children will love the hands-on fun of bringing the letters of the alphabet to life. And parents will appreciate the mesh bag that comes with the kit, so all the parts stay together and can be used over and over again. For preschool and up.

What Customers Say About How to Build an A:
|
|
As soon as I get to his house, he often says, "Let's build letters." The two year old boy I babysit absolutely loves using the foam pieces to build the alphabet. The pieces are large and sturdy so it is easy for his small hands to arrange them to make the letters.
The book/blocks come with a little mesh bag so everything stays together. I'll take out this book once in a while, and he will go through every page and build each letter. It is very nicely illustrated and easy for a pre-schooler to follow. I read about this book in Cookie Magazine and ordered it for my 3 1/2 year old right away. He LOVES it.
Our friends were amazed. I bought this for my 3 yr old daughter to help jump start the ABC process. It's great way to learn the ABCs. The illustrations are nicely done. After two times reading the book she started forming the letters using the cutouts on her own. A week later she was at lunch with her mother in restaurant shaping letters out of the crayons and silverware on the table.
It is a bunch of fun. I thought this was a blast. Regardless - the book is fun and will keep a kid busy - I would buy it before a plane trip. He/she should also know that "X" just happens to be a symbol for Christ - thus the shortening of Christmas to X-mas. My three year old had a good time creating the letters - especially since since she shows an interest in letters, but doesn't have the dexterity yet to really handle a pencil. The reviewer who had to bring religion into his/her review shouldn't have given in fewer stars.
I thought it was very educational and feel it will help her with many words. My granddaughter really enjoyed this book.
