Is it:

Children's Alphabet Picture Book

or

Childrens' Alphabet Picture Book



And.. Is it:

Learn ABCs

or

Learn ABC's



I would have thought it was Childrens' and ABCs ---- I thought I knew about apostrophes (I always do until I think my self into confusion) but what has REALLY thrown me is that all the other book titles I can find say "ABC's" and "Children's"...


Help knowledgeable ones!!

Sorry to explain - children is a group name, not a plural.

Yep Children's (cos children is already plural so the apostrophe comes before the s) and ABCs (no possession or omission.)
