Customer Reviews

The longer the better

This book will be useful for years. My 5 month old loves this book, as did the twin two year olds I used to baby sit. My son kicks and wiggles when I pull this book out, and he puts his hands all over the images. I point to each apple and say apple as I find all of the apples in the image. I think the repetition and the similarity are coming together for him better than in any other book of colors or counting I have found because of their random locations and sizes. The twins got to show off their ability to recognize words they could not yet pronounce by pointing when you asked them "Where is the flamingo?" or "Do you see a flower?" Grouping the images by color makes each page you turn to feel fresh and interesting.

My boys love it

My boys and I look at this book over and over. They do not tire of finding things on the pages.

Fun integration of skills

My son, three, loves this book as does his older sister, seven. It combines many critical skills into one fun, interactive book. We have done it together over and over and even I look forward to playing with it again and again. Another lovely side effect-- my son's knowledge of colors and counting has improved dramatically through his love of puzzles and searches. I liked it so much I ordered a copy for my niece.

Learning on many levels

This is one of the first books to really capture my 15-month-old daughter's attention. She brings it to us to look at multiple times a day. Right now she's using it to learn vocabulary: she points out and names the things she knows and asks "dat?" for things she doesn't know. We're starting to talk about the colors in the book, too, and at some point we'll add the counting. I suspect this book will be a hit for many months to come.

His Favorite Book

This is my 17 month old son's favorite book. There are many different ways to use this book for learning. First he learned how to point to the objects we name. Then, he learned to say the names himself. Now he is learning the colors. Eventually he'll be able to use the book to learn to count. When we ask him to get his book, this is the one he always wants to look at.
