Alfie Explores A to Z: A Seek-and-Find Adventure (A Look-and-Locate Library Adventure)

In Alfie Explores A to Z, an adventurous bookworm named Alfie searches for his pet dust bunny, Betty, through the alphabet. Each letter receives a two-page spread. The first page contains a clever rhyme that lists objects starting with the given letter. The second page offers a conglomeration of objects, including those mentioned in the rhyme. Readers search for Alfie, Betty, and the listed items, along with dozens of unusual objects and caricatures, all starting with the given letter.

As a seek-and-find adventure, many children will enjoy the challenge of finding Alfie and Betty on each spread and looking for some of the items listed in the rhyme. However, this book is marketed as appropriate for children between the ages of four and eight. The answer key at the back of the book contains over 1000 objects to be found in each spread, many of which young children cannot identify and may find frustrating. For example, the letter A contains an aspen tree and an Abyssinian cat. While this book will provide some amusement and a clever introduction to the alphabet, many children and possibly some adults will struggle to identify a portion of the objects in the pictures correctly.
