Alphaprints: 123 Board book – Illustrated, July 22, 2014

We love this board book so much that I bought this latest copy as a gift for a baby nephew. It’s sturdy and has engaging pictures, and helped both my kids learn to count as toddlers. My daughter who is 4 still enjoys reading it before bed. One of the best kids books I’ve purchased over the years!

When I ordered this, I was unaware of the reason it's called Alpha"prints". All the animals featured in the book are made using a finger print. Each finger print is textured and my 2.5 year old son really enjoys running his fingers over them. It's a LARGE book, which is nice, completely unexpected from the price I paid. Turns out there are other books in the series. I think it's very cute and imaginative that they not only use fingerprints, but also other everyday objects to create the animals. If you look on the cover you'll notice the birds beaks are actually leaves and they're perched on a watermelon. Turtle shells are actually bowls and other such things. It's really cute and I would highly recommend.

So pretty and colorful

I have a 10 month old, and this is the second fingerprint book I’ve purchased. They are well made and just so creatively cute! The caterpillars for number four are made out of macarons, and it is the best thing I’ve ever seen! I love reading these books to my daughter, and she loves looking at them! Highly recommend!

My son loves this book! He really likes that there is so much color and there is also texture! Great book!

I love this series, and this is a great book! It counts up to ten, and each page has the corresponding number of a certain animal with two descriptive sentences. I love how creative this series is in using fingerprints and everyday objects to make the animals. We also have the Alphaprints: ABC book. I was pleased to discover that there is only one duplicate animal between the two books. If you already have the ABC book, I would still recommend this one!

Our 2 and 1 year old both love this book. Our 2 year old is learning to count and this is his top book he pulls out to read. Brightly colored and thicker pages which makes is great with how rough kids are.

Simple clean lines make this book captivating for the young. This book will have your child say, "read it again!"
