About this book

Twenty-six letters. Twenty-six photos from your world.

In short

The ABC Board Book is a personalized alphabet board book with 26 letter pages, each illustrated with a photo you choose. It is a fixed 26 pages — no additional pages can be added — measures 5.25 x 5.25 inches, holds 28 photos (26 letter photos plus 1 cover photo and 1 back cover photo), and is printed on durable glossy board in the USA — an alphabet book where A is for your child's own Aunt, Apple, or Airplane.

Make learning the alphabet personal with a custom ABC Board Book featuring a photo for every letter, from A to Z. Choose 26 of your favorite photos, plus two additional photos for the cover and back cover, to create an alphabet book filled with familiar faces, favorite places, beloved pets, and everyday things your child knows and loves.

With 26 letter pages and no additional pages to add, this 5.25 x 5.25-inch board book is designed just for little hands. Durable glossy pages, rounded corners, and spiral binding make it easy to flip through again and again, while the wipeable finish helps it stand up to everyday messes. Printed and bound in the USA.

Instead of learning letters alongside unfamiliar objects, your child can discover the alphabet through their own world. A might be for Auntie, B might be for Beach, and D might be for Daddy. When every letter is connected to someone or something they already recognize, learning feels familiar, meaningful, and fun.

Mix people, places, pets, and everyday favorites to make all 26 letters uniquely yours. The result is more than an alphabet book. It's a little collection of the people, places, and moments that make your child's world special.

Why the ABC Board Book works

Familiar faces make learning personal

The alphabet is more meaningful when every letter connects to someone or something your child already knows. Instead of unfamiliar illustrations, they'll see the people, pets, places, and everyday favorites that are part of their world.

One letter, one photo, one page

Each letter gets its own page and photo, creating a simple, easy-to-follow experience for little learners. Kids can point to the letter, recognize the photo, and start making the connection between the two.

A book they can grow into

For little ones, it's a book filled with familiar photos. As they grow, it becomes a fun way to practice letter recognition and begin connecting letters with words and sounds. The same personalized book can become part of their learning journey for years to come.

What to put on the pages

  • Family first names for the letters you can fill that way
  • Pets, both yours and the neighbors'
  • Vacation landmarks for the hard letters — Q for Quebec, X for a Xylophone at music class
  • Everyday objects your toddler already names: bottle, car, shoes
  • Action shots — J for Jumping, R for Running — so the book has motion in it

Occasions families gift it for

  • Second and third birthday gifts
  • Preschool or pre-K starting gifts
  • Christmas learning gifts from grandparents
  • Baby shower gifts that get used later, not immediately
  • End-of-year gifts from a teacher to a class

Questions, answered

About the ABC Board Book

What is the ABC Board Book?

The ABC Board Book is a personalized alphabet board book with 26 letter pages, each illustrated with a photo you choose. It is a fixed 26 pages — no additional pages can be added — measures 5.25 x 5.25 inches, holds 28 photos (26 letter photos plus 1 cover photo and 1 back cover photo), and is printed on durable glossy board in the USA — an alphabet book where A is for your child's own Aunt, Apple, or Airplane.

What do I use for hard letters like Q, X, and Z?

Families get creative: Q for Quilt or Quack, X for the X on a treasure map or a Xylophone at music class, Z for Zoo or a sleeping Zzz photo. Any photo you can justify out loud works.

How many photos does the ABC Board Book need?

Twenty-eight photos in total: 26 letter photos, one for each letter of the alphabet, plus 1 cover photo and 1 back cover photo. The book is a fixed 26 pages at 5.25 x 5.25 inches, and additional pages cannot be added.

Can I use my child's classmates' names for the letters?

Yes, and it is one of the most popular teacher and daycare uses. Photograph each child, assign them their first initial, and fill the gaps with classroom objects.

At what age should we start an alphabet book?

Most children enjoy it as a photo book from around 12 months and start engaging with the letters themselves between two and three. Because the pages are board, you can start early without damage.

What if I don't have a photo for every letter?

You don't need one. High-resolution downloadable images are provided for each letter, so you can mix your own photos with ready-made letter art and still finish all 26 pages.

Can I add a page to the ABC Board Book later?

No — the ABC Board Book is a fixed 26 pages, and once a book is bound, a page can't be added without damaging the spiral binding. Include every pet, cousin, and grandparent before you print.

What age is the ABC Board Book for?

Recommended for children age 1 and up. The rigid board pages, rounded corners, and non-toxic inks are designed to survive teething, tossing, and daily story time with infants and toddlers.

How many photos and pages does it include?

26 pages — a fixed-length book, so no additional pages can be added. You supply 28 (26 letter photos + 1 cover photo and 1 back cover photo).

How big is the book?

Each board book measures 5.25 x 5.25" — sized to be held and read by little hands, with spill-proof, wipeable pages.

Where is it printed and how long does it take?

Every ABC Board Book is printed and bound in the United States. Production takes about 5–7 business days, then it ships to your door — no international waits, no surprises.
