Kika: My First Word Book

We got this as a gift for my daughter's first birthday, and I plan on giving it myself at the next first birthday party I attend. My daughter will point at Mommy and the Window and give us a kiss when those words appear in the book. The illustrations are very engaging and I think that adds to its appeal for her. I think she's learned a lot and I know she enjoys this book immensely.

We ordered this book after coming across it at the library and loved it. It's not a board book, so you wouldn't want to turn your toddler loose with it. Nevertheless, I love the style of the illustrations and the simple words that accompany them. It's perfect for story time with a 12-18 month who is beginning to repeat words and build his or her vocabulary.

My 15 month old loves this book! She even loves the inside cover where there are small illustrations. She points to all the pictures and says, "Dis?" and I name the objects. The brightly colored illustrations are great. My only complaint is that the pages are regular paper (not a board book).
