abigailbat's review against another edition
3.0
This entertaining nonfiction book details the history of our alphabet and its changes as it's been adopted into different languages and cultures. The most interesting part for me was seeing what letters have looked like in the past and learning what pictures they actually came from. Did you know that the letter A started out as a picture of an ox's head? Learn this and other fun facts about the ABCs in this book.

Great book that tells the story of our letters, our foundations of our written language. It is simplified, includes a lot of interesting tidbits, and includes a nice Resources section for kids and adults.
