Gramma Carmels Picture Books provide readers a gorgeous opportunity to learn together in a clever and amusing way, with 26 color images matching 26 concepts related to the theme, one for each letter in the English alphabet. Early readers may enjoy this picture book on their own, though some unfamiliar words may pose challenges - that's a good thing! For Kindergarten and PreK, it is best if an older person reads the book to them, though they may safely browse the images and find it enjoyable and stimulating. This is a great tool for learning English, improving reading skills, and expanding understanding of concepts and language.
