Customer Reviews

A must for Sams and non-Sams alike

This book is great! We got it when our son, Sam, was first born and it was thrilling to see how he progressed through the book over time until he could name every picture. I love the concept of having only one picture on each page, which sounds boring but is exactly what those budding minds need. This is a great book for young children who aren't yet into books or won't sit through a story. The simplicity of the concept keeps them occupied. I only wish it came in a board book format.

A Perfect Book

I ordered this book for my son. He absolutely loves it! He brings it to me every night so we can read it together. He knows ball, cat, dog (sometimes known as woo, woo)and even plane. It is perfect when children first start to put words together. I love all the books by Yves Got. My son learns a great deal from them.

Great book for babies on up to beginning readers

When our son was a baby, he loved to have us read this to him. Once he began talking he loved to "read" it to us - identifying the name of each item from the picture. Now we use it to identify letter sounds. You can't beat that for value!

The best vocabulary book for babies!

My son has learned to talk from this book! What I like most is that there is only one word and picture per page, which keeps their attention. The pictures are adorable! Plus the words are of everyday objects in your house. It is one of the few books that my son will sit still on my lap and read with me, and it's over 100 pages! It's his hands down favorite!

Great book for babies!

I like this word book a lot, because there is only one picture and word per page. Many word books have too many things on one page which makes the page appear cluttered and busy especially for babies and toddlers. By having only one word and picture per page, young readers are able to focus on the page more clearly and understand what they are being shown. Also, the colors in this book are vibrant and inviting. The author does a good job of introducing words that a baby sees in everyday life. It is an excellent book to introduce your child to new words.
