Title: The ABC Song Author: Liana LaRocca Genre: Board book Publisher: Taffy Tales Source: Publisher Format: Board book Release Date: August 5, 2025 Rating: ★★★★★
Review:
This board book has Mother Moose reciting the ABCs with each letter represented by a different animal. Some of the letters were a little tricky to have an animal reference, such as U and V, so there were more creative animals for those letters. I loved books that featured lots of different animals when I was a kid, so I’m sure kids today will love it too!
