Reviews

Good for beginning readers

[Tracey]

I think its a really good book with great illustrations. I do wish it was a board book.

[Aarvik]

It’s ok

[Clint]

Crozier likes this book quite a bit. I didn't realize he knew the words in this book -- ex: toes, hug -- until we were reading it. It's totally awesome that I can ask for a hug and he knows exactly what I'm asking for.

[Marianne (Mia) Emery]

This is an illustrated book that identifies simple words with matching pictures. It would be useful for PK-1.

[Emma M.]

Not a bad book to help baby learn to associate words with objects, but you would think that a "first book" would be a board book.

[Kimmy]

This book is good for learning to read words. My kids (4 & 5) did really well with this.
