There's hours of fun in this epic activity book!
Children can practice their letters and numbers in this interactive activity book designed to engage and entertain. There are over fifty fully illustrated activities, each themed on a number or letter of the alphabet to hone essential math and literacy skills.
In Alphabet of Alphabets, you'll take a ride through twenty fully-illustrated alphabets, from an A to Z of Birds to an A to Z of Zoo. Then, flip the book over for Number of Numbers, where you can count the animals going into Noah's Ark two-by-two, spot thirteen scary skeletons at the haunted house on Halloween, visit Farm Fifteen, and more. Dip in and out of the pages or do each one in order for a unique reading experience.
Through it all, Allan Sanders' weird and wonderful drawings are packed full of funny things to spot and plenty of Where's Waldo-style humor, making this the best way to learn your ABCs and 123s.
From ABC to 123 is perfect for summer vacation, home-learning, and more.

He is currently semi-retired and lives on the Sussex Downs, England, overlooking the sea.
