Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Introduce your baby to new words with the fun and colourful scenes in this giant book. Explore the different rooms in a home with your child as they learn about the items in each room!

Read along with your little one as they discover essential first words. Paired with bright, themed illustrations, this engaging book is designed to jump-start learning with 100 words. Build your child's observational and reading comprehension skills with easy-to-read text as they follow along with you and identify each object. This oversized book intentionally includes some more intricate words that kids won’t be able to immediately identify to better strengthen their learning experience.

With this book, you will:

  • Expand your child's vocabulary
  • Encourage imagination and cognitive development
  • Build fine motor skills as your child turns each page
  • Make reading and learning fun!

The Giant Book of First Words:

  • Is for children ages 1-3 and their parents
  • Makes a great gift for baby shower, dedications, first birthday, or Christmas
  • Is perfect for daycare, nurseries, or other childcare facilities

Check what’s cooking in the kitchen, go explore the backyard, set the table in the dining room, and more. This is a must-have book for every baby's bookshelf!
