Click, Clack, Quackity-quack: An Alphabetical Adventure

This book is just perfect for my youngest granddaughter to pretend to type on as she reads. I bought my older granddaughter a proper typewriter and her little sister thinks they are both typing.

We've enjoyed all the books in the Click, Clack series with our older son, so when I saw this one, I was curious. Unlike the delightfully amusing story books, Click, Clack Quackity-Quack is a basic concept book comprised of a sturdy board book and an attached "keyboard." Kids can push the letters on the keyboard, and each one creates a unique sound that (usually) ties in with the matching page in the book. The book contains a simple story that leads children through the alphabet.I think this book is fantastic for toddlers or young preschoolers who are just learning the alphabet or who are obsessed with letters, like my 2-year-old is. The story is basic and is centered more around letters and their sounds than around any major plot, but that's okay with the little ones. They'll have fun pushing buttons and hearing the noises...and learning along the way.

When I ordered this book, I did not do a lot of research. I enjoy this series of books and figured its another book for my nephews collection. My nephew is 1 years old so I know I needed to find a "board book" but what I did not know was this book came with sounds! I was so excited to see my nephews face as he figured out that it made sounds too! It was a fantastic buy! (the sounds are a bit repetitious but its very cute for young ones!)

This is a fun, delightful book as this series always is. I don't know how useful the fake keyboard is, but children will maybe have fun matching the letters in the book to the ones on the keyboard. Cronin and Lewin have a winning combination with Cronin's clever writing and Lewin's hilarious illustrations. I am a retired children's librarian and I look for good quality children's literature for my grandchildren.

5 stars for the book. But I wouldn’t recommend buying used. It had scribble and missing pages.
