The "H" book of Alphatales was quite an instant hit for Sophie because she loves I-Spy activities nowadays. The baby hippo in each scene is hidden from his mummy's view but quite visible to the reader so Sophie had no problem locating the baby hippo at all. I love the way the author includes "h" words, like "hush", "hey", "hi", "humph" and "help", in the speech bubbles. There are lots of other animals that begin with "h" as well, for example, "hedgehog", "hare", "hen", "horse" and "hyena".
In the "H" book of Sunshine Phonics, we see words like "house", "helicopter" and "hamburger". I like the fact that it uses "hippopotamus" rather than "hippo", somehow I prefer to teach Sophie the full word and not the shorter version.
In Now I'm Reading!: All About the ABCs by Nora Gaydos, "H" is also for "hamsters" and "hill" which adds to the variety of "H" words I can teach Sophie.
Not a "wow" track for me but maybe I was put off by the idea of a hunter hunting hares. I am definitely against hunting (or fishing) as a sport or recreation. It is an unnecessary and cruel way killing despite whatever people say about eating their game at the end of the day.
