Review Detail

The pictures are simply depicted in bright colors, and there are a lot of detail. I appreciated that not everything was named, and would have great fun looking for these objects with a young readers; the laundry hanging outside could lead to a good five minutes of conversation with a three year old. What I liked best about the book was the fact that it could be read to the very youngest reader, but has a lot of value for older preschool children as well.

It would have been nice to see other sorts of homes, since some children live in apartments, duplexes, etc., but different types of homes would be another book entirely! This Brain Quest series is such a good one that maybe one will be forthcoming. They have a wide range of books as well as workbooks.

This slightly larger format board book states right on the cover that it has "100+ words to get baby ready to read". Considering that my daughter still won't part with a similar book about the first 1,000 words in Spanish that is extremely battered, there is a lot of appeal to this type of book across age groups! For a board book, it is packed with lots of learning opportunities for pointing and naming every day objects, and is right at home with Cousin's Maisy's Day Out, Underwood's 100 First Words, and Priddy's First 100 Words.
