A new way for kids to learn their alphabet! Each letter has two words associated with it, and then sung to a catchy tune. Each "verse" of the song has a handful of letters, then a chorus of sorts is sung in between. The whole song is sung twice over which really reinforces the jingle. Your child will get this song stuck in their head for days, and will learn their alphabet in no time. "apple ant, banana ball, cook cat, we are alpha friends, donut dog, egg elephant, fly fish, we are alpha friends...."
