Pappys Alphabet

A Grandfathers bequest to his grandchildren which includes humour,truth and advice for coping with life pressures as they grow and mature to adulthood.

As I was reading to my grandkids several basic Alphabet ABC's books, I was a bit disappointed with some of the illustrations or cartoons used in those books to illustrate the letters of the alphabet. I thought to myself that I have taken 1000's of pictures over the years and I could put some of them in a book based on the first letter of the subject's picture and create an ABC's high-quality photo book out of it. I wanted to make this simple and universal - pictures of basic things to which all kids can relate. So, hopefully, your children and grandchildren will enjoy this as much as my grandchildren do. More than just the words and pictures, you can create a story about each one and let the child tell you about it! That's what real learning is all about! Contains over 110 color photos all taken by me through the years (one photo on an 8 1/2" x 11" page) printed with a high quality printing process on high quality no-bleed paper. This paperback book is sturdy for children to handle over and over.
