Preschool Skills Picture Books: Home

Picture books about the alphabet, counting, shapes and colors.

Introduction

Everyone who deals with small children knows that some things may be inevitable, but the alphabet, numbers, colors and shapes are the most pressing of them all. 

Most of our alphabet/number/color/shape books feel more like a story than like a teaching aid, so we treat them as picture books: good for people who just want a good book, but a bit harder for people who need an alphabet book right now. In these tabs, we've brought together our alphabet, counting, color and shape books for the parent on the go. Every book has a link to its catalog record - click through, scroll down and click the triangle next to "Item Availability Details" to see whether it's currently available.

For people who want to see what else we've got in children's nonfiction, we've also included the Semper FindIt call number sequence for the alphabet, numbers, and letters, color-coded to match the spine labels in that section. Check the top of each list to find out where.

Happy teaching!
