Fun story book to help with alphabet

[dilys4trevor]

Hello all. My DS (2.8) loves reading and is really getting into letters and recognising words (hit and miss on that one).

I'd like to get him a book that helps with his letters but has a story in it too (pref with sharks, dragons and the like!). The books that just talk about each letter make him switch off.

Any suggestions for a book that helps with letters but has a story to it?

Kipper's A-Z by Mick Inkpen - more creepy crawlies than sharks, but very enjoyable. (and anything else by Mick Inkpen while you're there)

Alfie's A-Z by Shirley Hughes is good- interesting pics, kind of a story ( well a rhyme anyway) but no dragons.

I was going to say Kipper's A-Z too

Thanks. As it happens, a friend reco-ed it just after I left this post so I've just purchased the Mick Inkpen one from Amazon. Obviously a good choice! Thanks.

Question probably answered with Kipper but there's also a Dr Suess ABC and Mog's Amazing Birthday Caper - this is probably better for slightly older ones but it's a lot of fun and totally mad!

I'd also recommend the first book in the Ladybird Phonics series, Alphapets - it's not a story but it is lots of fun, and it's phonically sound, out of print now but Amazon has enormous numbers of cheap second hand copies.

But I agree with everyone else that Kippers Alphabet is excellent
