Same as "ABCs of RPGs"
Hadn't realized this was basically just a D&D repackaging of the author's "ABCs of RPGs" book, which is good if you don't already have that, but a disappointment if you do.
My 3yr old grandaughter loves it! Her parents and uncle play D&D and she wants to be involved
Love the illustrations, love the ABC aspect and my grandchild adores the book. Will be buying the 123 book for her 4th birthday next month. and making her a hooded cape 'cause who doesn't need a cape when they are a fearless adventurer? They are designing some adventures just for her to play with them. Believe it or not, this is the reason she is not at all afraid of monsters, she loves them! She states "if a monster came to her house, they would just "vanquish it" so cute to hear a 3yr old state that, but then I may be partial
Introduce Letters and Adventure in One Fun Book!
What better time to introduce the magic of role playing and Dungeons & Dragons than during early child development? And what an awesome way to learn and share that magic between a geek mom or dad and their adventurer-in-training? The ABC's of D&D is a brilliantly crafted book, filled with bright and colorful pages of the things we all love about the world's greatest roleplaying game. Adventure, Books, Creatures, and on and on! This book is an entertaining way for parents to teach their children colors, letters, shapes, and the characteristics of heroes and fair play. It was so good, that I contributed to the Kickstarter for my copy of "The ABC's of RPG's," and then bought a copy of "The ABC's of D&D" as soon as it was published as well! Extra Note: The differences between the two books are subtle but significant. It was definitely worth be purchasing both copies. They keep the books fresh for my toddler between readings. There's something different about each of them that keeps them further interested. We even read both books side-by-side to tell the differences between each letter's page.
4 year old loves it
4 year old loves the illustrations and for the most part pronounceable words. Granted there are a few tough/long ones, but most can be sounded out really easily. The illustrations are nice and he loves pointing out the different creatures in it. Would definitely recommend for early readers and growing adventurers. Really the only negative I have for the book is that if you're reading straight through - and not stopping at every page to point out creatures and things the adventurers are doing - the rhythm can feel a little off because the rhyming can sometimes only be found after turning the page.
Cute book for D&D loving parents to read to their little ones
Super cute! My hubby loves D&D and was so excited when we found this book. He has read it to our 5 month old several times at bedtime now. The pictures are super cute and they picked words that are great vocabulary words as opposed to it only applying to someone that knows and understands D&D lore which I think makes it awesome. It really shows the spirit of D&D for someone that hasn’t played, but has cute nods to the game for players reading it to their little ones. I would love a board book version too, so my son could hold onto it too!
Such a fun bedtime ritual that provides something for my daughter that she can't get somewhere else.
My daughter is very into Disney Princesses and My Little Pony and all of that, and while that's fine and dandy with me... I'd like to have something that rounds that out and encourages her to adventure, develop a strong and supportive group of friends, and allow her to imagine and explore beyond the boundaries of established characters and their defined roles within their world. I'd like her imagination to grow with her understanding of herself and D&D is a great outlet for that. This book caught my 3 year old little girl's attention from her first glimpse at the cover and she asks me to read her this and the 123's nightly. It's awesome to have her point out Almiraj (unicorn bunnies with leopard spots), or the Tabaxi (cat people), and even more rewarding to have her take notice of the female wizard who leads and supports her group and helps them by giving them "magic shoes". When she eventually moves on from this book, I'll be storing it in my memory treasure chest forever.
Great book for babies and kids (and D&D-loving parents)!
I bought this book to read to my unborn baby in utero, and it's been great. I love feeling little kicks through my wife's stomach while I read this book out loud. As a D&D player who enjoys the book's contents myself, I plan to get continued use out of the illustrations and D&D terms (O is for Owlbear!) through the infant and toddler years.
Love this and the 123 Book
Basically copy and pasting my review from the 123s book as we enjoy both of them. My husband and I both enjoy DnD and we have a 3 year old daughter who I hope will one day enjoy it as well. These books (we also got the 123s book) are perfect for her age and are just a pleasure to read to her. The illustrations are wonderful and I appreciate the shorter length. They aren't meant to be adventure tales. They are books to learn counting/numbers or the ABCs. A 10 year old is probably not going to enjoy READING these although they may enjoy the illustrations. Perfect for nerdy family with very young children.
Great illustrations
My two year old loves this book. The pictures are great. My only complaint is that it’s not very D&D specific.
Great book but came in damaged
The product itself is awesome the inside is fun and colorful in the artwork is amazing, the illustrations and the book content of itself is awesome! However, the book came in with a huge scratch in the upper left-hand corner. In order to have it replaced I'd have to go to a UPS Store and send it back, even to get a refund for it I'd have to do this which takes time out of my life because of somebody else's mess up. So basically I paid full price for a damaged book.
