Summary: You Must Buy This Book
Review: I bought this book for my first child in 1995 and now my second child loves it just as much. EVERY page is taped up because they looked at it so much and both were very young so they would tear the pages as well. They both were probably 7-8 months old when they first fell in love with it. The revised edition is similar but yet very different; it is definately going under my tree this Christmas! Worth every penny and then some!!

Summary: Great vocabulary builder
Review: I bought this book for my speech-delayed daughter to help build her vocabulary. This book is very complete with a lot of fun, colorful pictures. I like that the pictures are real-life and not cartoon drawings like in some other books - it makes the words much easier for kids to pick up on. If you consider buying it, you might want to make sure you are getting the revised 2002 edition. The pictures are much more up-to-date than the older version from the early 90's.

Summary: Very useful tool
Review: I have gotten involved with a Sudanese family. They do not know how to speak English and I don't know their language. I have used this book with them. The photographs are very helpful to teach them words and convey ideas. There is a lot of information in this book. It is a great asset.

Summary: Finally hid the book I got so tired of reading it! :)
Review: I know that sounds like a terrible parent, but I really did hide this book because I got so bored of reading it constantly! My son got it for his first birthday and loved it so much that he tended to rip pages, etc. Our copy is in very bad condition from so much use! I did break down and bring it out of hiding later on when he was older and could take care of it a little better when reading it himself. My son is 5 now and still likes it a lot - he can now read the words that go with the pictures. If you are buying this book for a really young child, you might want to consider the My First Word Board Book instead - that way you won't have to supervise so closely and your child can read it himself.

Summary: My First Word Book-Excellent Gift
Review: My daughter is fascinated with this book! She grabs my finger, puts it on a picture, and <WOW> she gets a new word! We skip around a lot, but she is obviously building her vocabulary. And, yes, it is boring for adults.... but I believe the education of my daughter is well worth reading her favorite books, even if I dislike them.

Summary: As good as a general word book can be...
Review: This book has captured the attention of my child since he was 12 months. He's now 18 months and we look at it daily. It has helped him acquire new vocabulary and he especially enjoys making the noises of the animals in the book. Angela Wilke's "First ABC Book" is equally enjoyable, but with less objects. The one negative aspect of this book is that plastic figurines are often substituted for the real thing in the photos. I would prefer a real photo of a horse than a plastic figure or drawing.

Review: We gave this book to my 20 month-old daughter for Christmas. It has become her favorite book! She loves to look through it. She gets excited when she recognizes things she is already familiar with or knows how to say. It is a great vocabulary teaching tool!
