First Words is a set of six Stage 1 titles designed to fill a perceived gap between the wordless Stage 1 books and Stage 2. They introduce the Stage 1 key words (the characters' names; `a', `and' and `the') in a set of motivating child-centred Where does the mysterious spaceman come from? Why is Floppy out of favour? What happens to Mum and Dad's bed? Look in on the `Biff and Chip Show'; join the family having fun at the beach; and find out what's cooking. These Stage 1 titles will be accompanied by Big Books and Extended Stories.
Miss 3 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.
She chose this one but didn't enjoy it. It's a super simple early reader but we both found it really confusing that they don't eat the pancake it just suddenly jumps to a new character in a pancake race.
