accounts (if you are on goodreads and we are not friends, let me know, I'd love to be friends! I'm always looking for good books and like to read the reviews of people I know.) to keep track of the good non-fiction books for preschoolers, because they are a little hard to find. So, here's the first additon to Lincoln's Non-Fiction Shelf.
by Chris L. Demarest3 of 5 stars
Linc absolutely LOVES this book, and would have given it 5 stars. Me, I'm not a huge fan, and probably would give it only 1 star. But since there is really nothing wrong with it, I met Linc in the middle and gave it 3 stars.
I like the idea of learning the military alphabet, and I thought the preface and end notes of the book were really interesting. Each letter has what they use in the military, so for example A is for Alpha, B is for Bravo, etc. And then it gives a little sentence at the bottom of the page that uses a word for the letter in some sort of military context. So for example, Brave soldiers prepare for Battle. It's not graphic (no blood or guts or anything, and it's not political, and it has some pretty good pictures of airplanes, tanks, ships, etc. which is probably why Linc loved it so much. I was kind of hoping it would have been more about the military alphabet, like why the decided to use alpha for A instead of like Atlantic or something. In the very least, they could have made it rhyme or a little more catchy, or put some sort of thought into it. That's why I didn't like it I guess, I felt it was lacking the creativity or deeper insight I wanted. But a three year old isn't look for deeper insight, so it worked well for Linc. :)
