Preschool Book Review: Applebet - An ABC

Preschool Book Review: Applebet – An ABC

Written by Clyde Watson
Illustrated by Wendy Watson

From the Preschool Book

“A is for apple as everyone knows. Can you follow this one wherever it goes? B is for Bet in the top of the tree who picked it and shined it and gave it to me."

About the Preschool Book

Applebet is the story of a little girl named Bet and her mother as they get ready to go to the fair. Rock through the letters of the alphabet with this wonderful rhyme about the journey a few special apples take, from the tree to the winner’s table at the fair.  

From the Reviewer

Applebet is a wonderful educational book for preschoolers learning the letters of the alphabet. What makes this alphabet book unique is that rather than simply going through each letter of the alphabet, it includes soft and hard sounds and blends as well. This is a great introduction to language concepts that many preschoolers have not been exposed to before. Blends and soft and hard sounds are shown to preschoolers in a way that they can understand and that continues the flow of the story.

The fun and action-filled illustrations are appealing to preschoolers and get them interested in the story. Alphabet letters are large and set apart in a different color, making it easy for preschoolers to pick out the letters as they go through the story.
