I love all the learning topics it covers
And it's beautiful pictures

[Lynn Plourde · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this! Classic Eric Carle illustrations with fun, unusual words/vocabulary. Will use as a great early "reader" with the 4 year old grandboy--he can point and "read." Perfect for preschoolers.

We read this in English. I like all the pictures and learning their words.

[Brooklyn || The Wild Library · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this one! It is such a fun and unique vocabulary book for young readers. I especially liked how the groupings of vocab words were organized: i.e. "Things to See/Feel/Do/etc.)

[Yuki (Le’a) Fujisawa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really like this book that has lots of color and the color is not just the one basic color. I like the way how they color as like collage. And I also think that this will be one of the fun material for kids 1-3 years old with learning what they can see out side of there house with all the nature and all of the stuff around them : out side nature, inside material, shapes, food, numbers,patterns, color, etc… and especially for children, it is important for us to help them have fun with learning with let them get families with what they are doing. With me as one of the people who is learning to become a teacher for little kid in special ed, it is also easy for them to give impact with something new with all of the fun colors not just plain basic colors. They also have page about fun things you can d with friends and in the end of the book they have trial page like, showing all of the stuff in the book to let them try how many things they got to learn and tell. I think it I really fun to talk about with your child/student after you read threw all of the book.

Bright colourful book full of pictures and words to share and talk about. The book is divided into 5 sections: Things You See; Things You Eat; Things You Learn; Colourful Things; and Things About You. Most of the words are "things" but some are concepts such as feelings or actions.
Each double-page spread has a large illustration linked to the topic with several relevant illustrations (with words) on the opposite page. Children familiar with Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" will have great fun spotting it!

[E & E’s Mama · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is such a treasure trove of Eric Carle’s iconic artwork! Over 200 illustrations paired with words, categorized in 5 subjects: Things You Eat, Things You See, Things You Learn, Colorful Things, and Things About You. Elliot recognized a lot of the illustrations from the many Eric Carle books we’ve recently checked out from the library. It’s a great way to introduce vocabulary through the colorful and fun world of Eric Carle. This is a library copy, but I definitely want to add it to Elliot’s personal library soon!

5 stars from my 15 month old baby who chooses this book Every. Single. Time. Good combination of familiar things he sees often and totally random things! We have the bilingual English-French version which I really recommend.

[Allison · Rating 4 out of 5]

Perfect first book for learning words for things!

[Robin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Many characters from his books can be found in this collection of first words.

[Syntha Green · Rating 4 out of 5]

No one illustrates quite like Carle - bold, colorful, bright!

[Shimista · Rating 2 out of 5]

Read in english...
I like his art. Or maybe just the lions and horses? Shrug

[Kelly · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one of those children's books that I must own. There's the potential for discovery, participation, learning, and discussion in these words.

[MaryLibrarianOH · Rating 4 out of 5]

A book packed full of different concepts each illustrated with iconic Eric Carle artwork. The kind of book the is nostalgic for parents and grandparents.

[Kayla · Rating 4 out of 5]

Is there anything better than Eric Carle’s bright and colorful illustrations? This book brings them all together in one place with some new ones as well.

[Miss Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

An easy preschool read where every two page spread lists a topic and then pictures and words of objects in the Eric Carle universe that match said things

[KC · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic book for all your Eric Carle needs!!!!

[Molly · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Heather · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love love LOVE this book, it's so fun to sit with a child and look and name and say and make the sound of....stuff. Endless fun!

[Elizabeth]

I'm not sure the "Feelings" illustrations really worked, but, other than that, the book was good. No plot, just concepts.

[Robin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read in French - L’imagier eric Carle mes 200 premiers mots. Good for practicing words and the pictures are lovely. The kids weren’t all that into it though.

[KaitandMaddie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a library book, but if I come across a copy secondhand I think it would be awesome to use this to make our own French-English dictionary.

[Jillian · Rating 4 out of 5]

Carle's gorgeous paper illustrations paired with first words for kids. Perfect to have in my elementary school library!

[Safwan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book on words to go over with children.

[Doug · Rating 5 out of 5]

The only bad thing about this book was that my kids fought over who got to read which page.

[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a fun first dictionary! Obviously, the best illustrations.

[Kelly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great for many different ages!

[Bud and Mama · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic imagery with different groups on each page. Bud enjoyed the pages about colour, pointing out the bee in particular. Good for learning early words for animals,objects and colours. We would take this out again for reinforcing/ developing language.
