It’s not Christmas “crunch time.” But, given your procrastination track record, MAYBE IT IS TIME to make some holiday decisions.

No, we’re not talking about picking the ugly sweater for your company’s “Zoom” holiday party.

But, if preschoolers are on your gift list, you can skip the Black Friday and six-foot distance lines with two fun-filled ABCs books that:

• Fall into the category of “Aww, that’s adorable”

• Qualify as a great “Stocking stuffer” and

• Check the box for “Helping little Johnny pass preschool!”

If a preschooler is in your home, family, or circle of friends, ABCs and 123s for Boys is a great storytime book addition. Kids will laugh and learn with this romp through the alphabet.

ABCs and 123s for Boys brings the alphabet to life with dozens of lovable characters. From ALEX the Alligator (an astronaut) to ZACK the Zebra (ziplining over the zoo), each letter features different boy’s name, fun rhyme, and clever illustration.

“Picture Dr. Seuss meets Sesame Street,” says author Tom McLaughlin. “ABCs and 123s for Boys is wonderfully entertaining – featuring pirates and ninjas to sharks and dinosaurs.”

This interactive book makes learning the ABCs and numbers fun. There are hidden surprises on pages – look for ants sneaking away with food. Kids will find and count all sorts of animals. Plus, they will love the surprise ending. You can personalize the story with your child’s name on the last page!

ABCs and 123s for Boys gives kids an extra serving of storytime fun. “Kids will love HANK the Hippo and dozens of adorable characters,” adds McLaughlin. “It’s far more engaging than an ‘A is for Apple’ book. When kids are engaged, they’re learning.”

And ... if your child likes to color, break out the crayons! The ABCs and 123s for Boys Coloring Book features big, easy-to-draw letters and fun characters from the ABC book. Add a box of crayons with the books and you have a great Christmas gift.

ABCs and 123s for Boys and the ABCs and 123s for Boys Coloring Book can be found at Amazon and bookstores. They’re ideal for toddler, preschool, homeschool, daycare, baby boy shower, birthday, Christmas stocking stuffer, and grandson gifts.
