A favorite with all my kids and their friends

This book was a favorite of both my daughters when they were around 18 months to 2 1/2 years of age. My younger daughter currently looks at it repeatedly throughout the day and always wants us to read it to her or to "read" it to us. It is a great tool for initiating conversation and building vocabulary on everyday objects. The simple yet bright illustrations are good at grabbing a child's attention. It covers things you'd find in the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, park, school, supermarket, farm, beach, etc. as well as showing colors and shapes. It also asks about the sounds animals make, shows differences (tall vs. short, etc.) and types of people (baby, girl, boy, etc.) I almost wish this book was offered in a board format, as the pages get a little ragged after going through several kids, but overall it's held up pretty well! I've bought several copies as birthday presents for friends and they have all loved it as well. I'm planning on getting the other books in the series: First Color Book, First Shape Book and First Number Book for Christmas presents for my daughter since she loves the First Word Book so much.

My 18 month old loves this book

We received it through a book club and the only negative thing I can say is that the pages haven't held up to his constant use of it. He loves the bright pictures and will sit in our laps or in a chair for a long time just looking or pointing and saying "what's that?" We love the book, too.
