Customer Reviews

Great book for all ages

This book is perfect for any age under 8 or so, I would think. My 8 month old and 3 year old nephews both were enthralled by the illustrations and the shiny foil, and the book is simple enough yet offers enough learning for both children. It is also a nice gift, since it is a larger, hardcover book.

RaisingOurKids.com LOVES this book!

The Big Shiny Sparkly First Words Book is a wonderful board book for toddlers, full of sparkly accents and hidden flaps to lift. My daughter really enjoyed this book, as well as it's companion book (The Big Shiny Sparkly Activity Book). You'll find scenes such as 'the petting zoo', 'at the playground', and 'at the pool', all full of items children commonly see on a daily basis.I feel that this is not only great for younger children to teach them the names of objects, but also for older toddlers or preschoolers as a pre reading tool. My daughter (almost 4) enjoys copying her older brother, so she was tickled to pieces that she could actually 'read' the objects in this book!

Have to say something

My child just loves this book! There are just so many things to look at in each of the scenes. But I have to mention a correction, for it's so unfortunate. This wonderful book was actually illustrated by WILLABEL TONG (not Susie Lacome). The credit error wasn't caught by the publisher until after the book was printed and released. I feel terrible for Willabel, and hope the publisher is doing everything they can to correct this mishap in reprint.
