About This Book
Corinna Luyken's "ABC and You and Me" offers a wonderfully interactive and kinesthetic approach to learning the alphabet. Children aged 4-11 are invited to physically embody each letter, wiggling wrists, twisting hips, and leaning to create the shapes. This book is perfect for active learners, encouraging gross motor skill development alongside letter recognition. It's designed for shared reading, fostering a playful connection between children and adults as they move together. The vibrant illustrations add another layer of discovery, with hidden details representing each letter.
Award-winning artist Corinna Luyken inspires kids to move their bodies as they learn the alphabet with this playful approach to a fundamental concept. Can you wiggle your wrists? Can you twist from your hips? Can you lean without bending your knees? Well then, follow me! In this original ABC book that encourages readers to sit up and move, kids and grownups use their bodies to make the shapes of each letter (and observant readers will notice details on each page that represent those letters). Gloriously illustrated by the acclaimed creator of The Book of Mistakes and My Heart, this is a terrific new way to learn the alphabet.
