Preschool books to read for the Letter A - Wildflower Ramblings

We love books in our house.  I have piles and baskets and shelves and more baskets full of children’s and baby board books.  And I just want to keep getting more!!  I can often be caught scouring garage sales and library sales to buy good, quality used books.  I don’t buy anything that is not high quality because, unfortunately, there are some bad books out there.  Now, reading anything can be considered a good thing, but I like to veer towards books that edify a child’s mind, with strong vocabulary and beautiful illustrations.

Reading benefits a child’s mind, a child’s speech, a child’s life.  You can read more about why reading is one of the most important things you can do with your baby or child at 10 reasons to read to your child.

As we begin our next round of the alphabet, for our preschool, I thought I’d put together some of the highest quality books for each letter of the alphabet.  And here is our list of best books for the letter A.

{This post contains affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.} 

download1

Ten Apples Up on Top! by Dr. Seuss is a beautiful rhyming and counting classic.  I have found that my son loves any book by Dr. Seuss.  These are the books that my son memorizes.  A lion, tiger, and dog all walk around with apples on their heads and get into many adventures and trouble!

download

Alligators All Around: An Alphabet by the always amazing Maurice Sendak is just about one of my favorite Alphabet Books.  This hilarious alligator family is trying to discipline and love on their sweet alligator son while teaching A through Z.

download (2)

There’s an Alligator Under my Bed by Mercer Mayer is an adorable story about a little boy who swears there is an alligator living under his bed.  Even though his parents don’t believe him, he ensures that the alligator finds his rightful place… in the garage!

download (1)

Apples by Gail Gibbons is an informational, non-fiction, text teaching a reader about apples, from their growth to harvest.  A perfect book for the fall season or teaching the letter A — the vibrant pictures engage littles ones to learn more about different varieties of apples.

ALEXANDER_TERRIBLE_HORRIBLE

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst is for a slightly older audience.  It teaches the importance of sharing our feelings.  Children can feel self-assured as they read this book about Alexander and his day of mishaps and know that sometimes, things don’t go our way, but we are still loved.

download (3)

Two Bad Ants by three-time Caldecott Award winner Chris Van Allsburg is a hidden classic.  More appropriate for ages 3 and up, this story takes us inside the secret world of ants.  Two mischevious ants have some mishaps in a kitchen, as they search for sugar crystals!  Beautifully illustrated and written.

I hope you’ve enjoyed our choices of books for the letter A!!

Happy Monday friends! I'm so excited to share a copy of this lovely book with one of you.
Art is not something I’m familiar with. Growing up, I thrived in theater and music, but never art. Unfortunately, I always felt like “I wasn’t good” or “that’s not my thing.” I’m sad about this! Since homeschooling my children, I’ve come to realize that I’m indeed a wonderful artist!! I can draw plants and bumblebees and even an octopus! I just need a bit of time, good materials, and a good teacher.
