In addition, to these two full-color books mentioned in the last paragraph, we also received a square picture book by the same author titled Doodling Dragons: An ABC Book of Sounds. The book retails for $15.00. This has become my two-year-old daughter's favorite accessory and she is seldom seen without it. We also were blessed with the iOS Doodling Dragons App that I have used on my new iPhone 5C in the OB waiting room on numerous occasions and most recently on our family hand-me-down first generation iPad running iOS 5.1.1. The book is is about 10x10" and a quality hardcover. Each page spread contains a set of American Alphabet phonograms and a matching set of illustrations and words to example the phonogram sound. They are silly and fun and definitely have both of my girls (ages four and two, nearly five and three) entertained and in love. It is colorful and full of delight! The app is more than just the book, while the book is in the app with the ability to be read by the child or narrated to the child... there is also a phonogram legend where individual sounds can be selected and played aloud, as well as a game using the pages of the book where a student hears the sound then clicks on the picture what word is being blended.
