Let’s talk ABC books! Is there anything sweeter than watching your little one point at a letter they recognise or proudly say a new word? ABC books are such a fun way to get little ones started with letters, sounds, and early reading. 

Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, these books turn letter-learning into playtime. And, let’s be honest, before you know it you’ll be belting out the alphabet song on repeat (sorry). So, if you’re looking to add a few gems to your bookshelf, we’ve got you covered (from A to Z)!

Here’s 6 of our favourite ABC books!

1. For vehicle enthusiasts: Let's Go ABC
If your little learner is fascinated by things that zoom, whizz, and roar, this book is the perfect pick. Journey through the alphabet with aeroplanes, excavators, kayaks, and even zambonis! Large letters and sturdy flaps make this a brilliant choice for hands-on learners who love discovering new things on every page.

2. For nature lovers: Mrs. Bee’s ABC 
Step into the garden with Mrs. Bee and explore the alphabet while buzzing past flowers, trees, and the hive! With sweet illustrations and finger-trail paths to follow, this book is a gentle and engaging way to learn letters while enjoying the wonders of nature!

3. For dinosaur fans: My Green and Scaly Dinosaur ABC Backpack

Remember: when it comes to early reading, it’s all about keeping it relaxed and fun. You don’t have to read every letter on every page. Just spend a few minutes each day pointing out a word or picture, saying it together, and letting your little one take the lead. Those small moments add up to something big - building their confidence, vocabulary, and most importantly, a love for books!
