My First Animal Board Book (My 1st Board Books)

Every page or two page spread has a number of photographs of animals, in various categories - giant ones, colorful ones, farm animals, that sort of thing.

Each animal is identified by one word.

Just right for this age group, especially any baby or toddler who is really into animals. I recommend this book, and, really, the whole series.

We got this for our 1.5 year old and think its worth every penny. The animals are large and well illustrated and she can now look around and immediately relate to animals she sees in real or on TV. She has learnt almost all animals and we find that it is a great way to spend time weaving stories around these animals.

This was both our boys' favorite book from about 16 months to 3 years. While there are probably too many pictures on a page for younger babies, and I don't recommend reading every word every time through, it introduces a lot of great animals in interesting categories ("spiky", "armored", and "colorful").

I purchased this book for my 14 month old granddaughter and a day does not go by that we do not read this book together! She comprehends but has decided not to use her language skills to date (she is now 16 months old) and therefore this book has become her tool to communicate about animals. She sees an animal in a magazine, another book or on television and will run to retrieve this book, thumbs through to the exact page where the animal is located, and literally uses it as a "show and tell" tool! The pictures are absolutely amazing! Hopefully she will speak soon but this book has reassured ME that she is no dummy! -

A loving Grandmother!

My daughter loves this book. She has lots and lots of books, but this is one of her favorites! It has a really wide vaiety of animals. We love it!
