Alphablock: Deluxe Gift Edition (An Abrams BIG Block Book) Deluxe Gift Edition

Learning the alphabet is as easy as A, B, C in this chunky, oversized deluxe edition of Alphablock from Abrams’ bestselling Block Book series!

With thick pages cut into the shape of each letter, children and parents will enjoy this peek-through guessing game around the letterform itself. This deluxe, jumbo-sized edition features die-cuts on every page and a larger trim size, perfect for classrooms and playrooms.

Sprinkles, hot fudge, and cherries hint at I’s ice cream sundae, while aquarium accessories hint at F’s fish. As readers interact with the pages, they will familiarize themselves not only with the 26 letters and associated words, but also with each letter’s physicality—angles, holes, and curves, both front and back.

Illustrated in Peski Studio’s bright, graphic style, Alphablock encourages the smallest readers to manipulate the alphabet in a whole new way and is a must-have ABC book.
