This book provides the English vocabulary since the letter A until the letter Z; besides, the book shows examples thorugh animals and plants which could help to the child to identify them easily and learn much better.

This book is a classic ABC book. It has a letter in capital and lower case, along with an animal that starts with that letter.
I like this book because it is clear for children to understand.
I would say this book should be read by younger children because it is teaching basic reading skills.

Our children grew from infancy into childhood on Brian Wildsmith’s ABC. Even when they were infants, just beginning to hold their heads up, to sit on their own, to follow with their eyes, I read a book with them each night before bedtime. The first book was often Brian Wildsmith’s ABC. “A,” I would say, and guide their pointy finger to the capital A on the page of the book. And then “a,” I would say again, and guide the finger to the lower-case “a.” Then, “apple,” I would say, and even early on, on their own, they would point to Wildsmith’s apple. Like the other illustrations, for every letter in the alphabet, Wildsmith’s apple was not a simple, ordinary picture. Expressionistic, I suppose it might be called. Its colors and lines and texture were bold. You almost expected, as you ran your fingers across the page, to feel the welts and globs of his paint. The pages were simple and uncluttered, colorful and intense. Just an “A” and an “a” and the apple.

Contemporary specialists in the teaching of reading do not speak too highly of such books: letters outside the context of words, a list of words outside the context of meaningful sentences, some words (jaguar, unicorn) outside the child’s experience. Such books promoted see-and-say rather than phonics, graphemes (or letters) rather than phonemes (or sounds), depending upon picture clues rather than linguistic codes.

Nevertheless, Brian Wildsmith’s ABC introduces children to a world of language, the printed page, the relationship between artifacts and art, between words on the page and the design of the page. From very early childhood it provides an experience that connects what one knows with what one can only imagine. After all, that’s what ABC books are for, isn’t it. Like songs sung by parents to their children at bedtime, ABC books are a way to share what may not be understood, what may not always connect in a logical, sensible way, but what can only be experienced between an adult who cares and a child who hears.

So Wildsmith’s ABC was literally worn threadbare by our children. “A” is for apple, “b” is for butterfly, “c” is for cat, “d” is for dog, “e” is for elephant. It’s as simple as that. Its very simplicity is part of its appeal. The colors and design of the pages; the boldness of Wildsmith’s paintings, as sophisticated as the text is simple: these are what make this a memorable book.

Oh, sure, have fun with Eric Carle’s alliterations in All about Arthur (an absolutely absurd ape); slurp your way through Lois Ehlert’s Eating Your Way Through the Alphabet: Fruits and Vegetables from A to Z (and pick up some good concepts along the way); then graduate to the humor and absurdity of Chris Van Allsberg’s The Z Was Zapped, the alphabet theater’s presentation in twenty-six acts. There are hundreds and hundreds more, a few just right for each child. But you can’t do better, in my opinion, than to let them start their pointy fingers on Wildsmith’s “L” is for lion, “m” is for mouse, "n" is for nest, "q" is for queen, "r" is for rhinoceros . . . .
