Customer Reviews

Just Fabulous

We bought this board book set for our 2 year old son. These books are fabulous. I see myself buying them for someone having a baby in the future. The books themselves are heavy duty and hold up to the frequent banging around of our toddler. The pictures are clear, bright, easily recognizable, vivid, and realistic. The selections used for each page are terrific. My son has loved the animal pages since day one. I have no question in my mind that these books have increased his vocabulary as well as his ability to recognize and verbally identify everyday objects. At one point we were going to buy flashcards with the letters of the alphabet and pictures for each letter, but they couldn't beat what's in these books. We also have a 10-month old that is also starting to enjoy these books. This was definitely a worthwhile purchase.

A slow start, but a BIG Finish

I guess I've been pushing books on my kids since they could barely hold their heads up. I bought this set for my toddler when he was an infant because they were board books and he really did (and does) love books. At first, I thought it was just another set of books because he had some others that seemed to be his favorite. Well, now that he's 2, he seems to go back to this set again and again, especially the "first words" book at this point. He takes it in the car and it entertains him for some time because I hear him going through it and saying all the different pictures which is many. It covers everything from body parts, to clothing, to animals, to colors, to shapes. It was my fault thinking when he was younger that he'd like these, but now he just loves these books.

A must have for any child

My 21 month old son loves the book's clear pictures and uncluttered nature. The format is great for learning the names of objects, colors, numbers, etc. We now play "where is the ...". The past six months have made these board books so well worn I will have to buy new ones for my younger son.

Must have learning

I got these for my son for his first birthday and now that we have another child, I have bought her another set of her own. They were my son's favorite books. They are the right size for him to hold by himself and he can sit for a hour just looking at the pictures and trying to remember what they are. I recommend these books for every child. They are great to look through with your child or for your child to read alone.

Terrific Learning Books

We bought these for our 3 year old daughter and they are the best learning "tools". She can easily identify the letters and pictures and has so much fun learning. I recommend these to anyone with young children who are learning to read and count.
