Premise/plot: What you see is exactly what you get. Mostly. I would say the emphasis is definitely more on the alphabet and tracing the alphabet than on the nursery rhymes. There is at least one line from a nursery rhyme per spread, but, you have to know to look for it, perhaps. That being said if you were looking for a book of nursery rhymes, this wouldn't be the one you'd reach for anyway.
My thoughts: The tracing element is especially well done for capital letters. There's a groove of sorts for little fingers to follow. I appreciated the tactile experience. It is not a touch and feel book by any stretch, still, there's something to engage the senses a little bit. The book is basic, but really there's nothing wrong with basics when it comes to concept books.
