Good ABC books

Hi, I've been looking for an ABC book for my dd, but the ones I have seen seem to be big on the picture to go with the letter and the letter taking second place. I'm after one where the letter is more more prominent. Have got some flash cards but again they are the same. Any book recomendations?

Dr Seuss ABC is a big hit in our house. Not sure it's really what you are looking for but lots of fun!!

Have got a couple of Dr Suess lift the flap books, they're great! DD makes a beeline for the alphabet snake in my nephews playground when I pick him up, so I thought she'd enjoy a book with big letters in that she could look though.

how about these?

scroll down to the bottom of the page

if it doesn't open on the correct page, you want to go to "children's books" "babies and toddlers"

you're looking for Bob's ABC and Alphabet Farm magnet book (the magnet book's really quite nice and bright: you put hte magnet on the right place on the book and it takes you through the whole alphabet in rhyme then you get a page at the back with the alphabet all together: it's not one letter per page, though.)

stupid thing only opens on the home page.

oo, like the look of the farm magnet book - she has an animal book and keeps matching the animals to the picture page instead of making animal scenes with them! Think I will order that now!
