Alphatrain - by Stephanie Miles & Christin Farley (Board Book)

This book is a great, unique little book for displaying and reviewing the alphabet. The colors, animals, and folding design really capture the interest of a toddler. I think it was well worth the money. I think some of these reviews are a little unfair. I purchased for an 18 month old who is in a Book Tearing Phase and owns many books. He is being taught to handle books more gently and it will come with time and fine motor practice but he isn't quite there yet so when the folds were torn within a few hours of him receiving the book, I wasn't upset and I didn't blame the book's design. If I was concerned about a toddler having free reign with a book and not wanting the book to have any risk of damage, I'd get him only Indestructibles and fabric baby books. I wanted him to have something unique and fun to review the alphabet and this perfectly serves that purpose. If you want something your child can't destroy, get them something like Indestructibles (which have no teaching or reading value), teach your child to treat the book better, or don't give them books at all.

Bright colors and very cute. The story is cute too, but that’s about it. The way that the book is made is so heavy that it ripped during the first reading! I wanted it to last but it didn’t

cute book but broke today... the day we bought it. my almost four year old managed to rip it in three. not very durable in between the hard pages. disappointed.

Good/high quality print. Actually stands vertically when pages fold out. Cute illustrations, though wordings are a bit quirky when read aloud.

Great book, but it was damaged at page folds. Plan to return as soon as my local store starts accepting returns again.
