The Alphabet Book is a collection of 33 short rhymes (in the Russian language) according to the number of the Russian alphabet letters. Each rhyme is composed of words beginning with one and the same letter (tautogram). The rhymes tell about various natural phenomena, animals and birds, fairy-tale heroes, adults and children, their little adventures. Like the wonderful world of childhood, the rhymes are filled with light, joy and warm humor. In an easy and unobtrusive form, they will help children memorize the Russian alphabet letters quickly and cheerfully, as well as learn a lot about the surrounding world. The Alphabet Book is written in large letters convenient for reading, in a simple and clear language. Each rhyme is accompanied by bright and memorable illustrations. The book will arouse great interest not only among children, but also among adults. The Alphabet Book is intended for children from 4 to 8 years old who speak or learn Russian. No transliterations (pronunciations) or translations from Russian into English are provided. The parent/educator/guardian should be helping their child learn how to read and pronounce the letters and rhymes. You will find below four poems from the Alphabet Book as an example.
