Customer Reviews

Wonderful!

My 16 month old son loves this book! It is great for English and Spanish learners/speakers. The pictures are clear and easy to see. It's great for anyone to read to him as well, since it has both languages. It has also been said that kids learn to identify objects faster with real pictures than with drawings. I would highly recommend it.

A Solid Choice!

This book is sturdy, durable, visually interesting, well-designed and a great place to launch an infant's interest in books, photos and naming real-life animals that will be seen around the house, in the neighborhood and at the zoo. Bright Baby Animals is part of a wonderful series of board books which includes Bright Baby Colors and Bright Baby First Words (both of which I also highly recommend). Rather than confusing an infant's eyes with an array of images all at once, the nice thing about these books is that they are laid out very simplistically with one photograph and word per page on a solid-colored background. No clutter and no distractions. For the infant who is just starting to point at everything in the world and seek "identification tags", this entire series is the perfect first set of books. Ever since he was an infant, my son has kept coming back to these books. I think it is because they can be easily adapted to teach a variety of concepts and they evolve to meet his constantly changing points of interest. I give this book five stars for a variety of reasons including the simple visual images it provides, the focused learning it encourages, and the variety of ways in which it can be used to teach not just animals, but also other concepts such as colors. With its beautiful photography of real-life animals set against simple, solid backgrounds, this book is definitely a solid choice with which to start your child's home library!

EXCELLENT for Babies & Toddlers!

Contrary to the only other review of this book (which it is clearly stated the age range for the book being for children), it is an EXCELLENT book for babies & toddlers. Our 18 month daughter has the entire Bright Baby collection and she loves all of them! She recognizes the pictures of the animals when we are at the zoo or on TV. She can make the sounds of the animals as we point to each animal. These books are especially great for the car as your little one can re-read the book over and over without getting bored. The vivid pictures and bold lettering of the words is also excellent. The book is very sturdy and will hold up to the teething, throwing, spit up, etc. that comes with children. The book is the perfect size for little hands and the pages are thick enough for little ones to turn without help from an adult. Highly recommend this book -- and all Bright Baby books -- to current and future parent(s) or as a gift.

Great Animal Book

This is a good vocabulary-builder. The pictures are gorgeous, and it has a nice selection of animals. My toddlers really enjoy reading it several times a day. It's a good size for tossing in my bag or in the car for outings, too!

Bright

This book is bright and filled with gorgeous colorful pictures of animals. My baby loves to chew the corners and they survive very well.
