Fans of typography and neon won’t go far wrong with beautiful book slash puzzle ABC Word Play by Fany Perret (Chronicle, RRP £12.99). I can’t lie – it’s not the greatest tool for teaching your child the alphabet as the letters are all upper case (and the font means that many of them look different from familiar capitals), but you will both have fun punching the letters out and placing them back into the book, plus Kitty and I spelled out a few words. The colours are amazing and if you can bear to separate them from the book, the letters would make a great name pictures, but I’d recommend this one for older children or font freaks rather than pres-schoolers.
