My first words

Bookshelves abund with first word books in a variety of guises. THis one from Priddy has a padded cover which makes it feel rather nice.

My first words is bright and colourful from the cover on. Harriet loved the ducks on the inside cover and enjoyed "reading" on her own, picking out items, food, animals etc that she recognised.

Each page has poses a question – Can you touch your nose? or Which pet lives in water?  or How many...– and encourages conversation. The pages aren't board but they are reassuringly thick for little fingers to turn.

The more Harriet and I have explored My first words, the more we both like it. It certainly beats the one item per page type of book and the way items are grouped together is intuitive and pleasing. Even better the text for the labels is in lower case – seeing capital letters everywhere is one of my pet hates! The way the My first words progresses into shapes, colours and numbers means a toddler will not outgrow it too quickly!

My first words is an excellent addition to Harriet's library.
