My MIL used to get different sets of alphabet flash cards with pictures on them from a school supply store and then would get inexpensive small photo albums where you just slide one picture in on each page (same size as the flash card. My boys when they were toddlers and preschoolers LOVED their alphabet "books" and they were portable and somewhat contained...but also the cards could be pulled out and manipulated (on the floor or on a table) and just the right side for small hands.

Not that we were drilling the kids on the alphabet...but they were obsessed with letters and it was a nice way to feed that need to talk about letters.
