This collection of first words with accompanying pictures is sorted nicely by categories. The larger format edition is highly recommended as the new reader can easily point to each object, yet is still able to turn the board book pages with ease. The author has complied a set of common first words for little ones that they can recognize in their own world. With everything from “cat” to “sippy cup”, there is sure to be something for everyone.

Notes for Parents:

Like the picture word cards for young children, the pictures offer a great way to build new vocabulary. Discussing the pictures with your child and talking about where they see the objects or when they do the actions portrayed in the pictures is key in helping them develop their understanding conversations and making connections to the world around them.
