The Sleepy Little Alphabet

Have you seen this book yet? We were lucky to be the first family to check it out from our public library, just minutes after it was placed on the shelf.

The Sleepy Little Alphabet by Judy Sierra and Melissa Sweet takes place at bedtime in Alphabet Town. The little letters are getting ready for bed and each one of the twenty-six lowercase letters has something to do before being tucked in by uppercase Mom or Dad.

There are so many great things to say about this book. First of all, each of the lowercase letters has an object that starts with that letter. For example, the "a" is playing an accordion and the "b" is riding a bicycle. Second, the book is a quick read so when your child asks you to read it again and again at bedtime, you won't mind so much. I also like that the book reads in a song-like, chantable (that is not a real word, I know) fashion, very similar to Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. C and R both enjoyed this book and worked together to find all of the alphabet related items on each page.

If you are looking for a great bedtime story that also teaches the alphabet, this is the book for you. I definitely recommend it.
