All about it:
ABCs WITH SOPHIA is one of the coolest, most unique and adorable books I’ve ever given to my granddaughter, Sophia. Not only is her name displayed throughout this interactive book, BUT her photo is perfectly placed into the characters as well.
While we read our way through the alphabet, we also get to pause at the strategically placed questions to study the illustrations.
Until we reach the final page which says Made with love for Sophia! and has an adorable photo of her which captures the magic of this book so perfectly.
Opening lines:
This book was made just for Sophia!
Aa
A is for astronaut.
Favorite page spread: (A very special book deserves extra special perks. And since this is a book specially made for my adorable granddaughter, Sophia, — you don’t get any more special than that. SO I’m including lots of favorite page spreads!)
Here’s a shot at the final page spread that’s addressed to Sophia. 🙂
What will kids (and adults) take away after they’ve read it:
Kids will love seeing not only their name, but their photo as well throughout the book. It truly does become their book! They’ll want to read it over and over again to see themselves in the characters.
Adults will love this cherished keepsake! To see the sparkle in your little ones eyes when they realize THEY are IN the book is a moment in time that you’ll never forget.
