A bright and busy first picture dictionary.

As little ones flip through this large board book they’ll learn dozens of words relating to their daily lives. Each page is dedicated to a different, toddler-friendly subject: colors, toys, food, and more. Each subject is illustrated with five to 10 bright pictures, set into separate boxes with varying background colors. The images are a mixture of clear photographs and simple illustrations, and each object is legibly marked with lowercase text. The color scheme is suitably primary, emphasizing the building-block nature that these words have for a little one’s vocabulary. Readers just starting to talk will adore this colorful resource. The book is handsomely bound in a faux hardcover style that will make it seem big and important on a little one’s shelf.

A handsome and sturdy resource for little ones beginning to build their vocabularies.
