My 23 month old loves this book! Bright contrasting colors, simple concepts, and vivid pictures keep her attention while I read to her. I also like the sturdy construction, definitely toddler proof. We're planning on getting the other books in the series for her birthday.

I purchased this book for my 16 month old son for Christmas. Out of all the "first words" books out there, I found this to be the best-bright colors, one picture per page (others have too many pictures on one page). I will ask my son to find the apple, fish, etc. and he will flip through the pages to find them. He also learned how to say several of the words from this book! Perfect size for toddlers, can take in the car.

I went back to Barnes & Noble to buy the set, but they don't sell them anymore-so, of course I purchased them from Amazon.

This book is fantastic! We have several "first words" books and this is my 20 month old's favorite by far. The fact that each word is tied to a photograph of an object, rather than an artist's rendering, is much easier for him to process and understand. So not only can he say the corresponding word to each picture as we page though the book, but then when he encounters the real object, his mind makes the association much more quickly...helping him to learn words at a faster pace! Highly recommend this!

This book is sturdy, durable, visually interesting, well-designed and a great place to launch an infant's interest in books, photos and naming the real-life items he/she sees every day. Bright Baby First Words is part of a wonderful series of board books which includes Bright Baby Animals and Bright Baby Colors (both of which I also highly recommend). Rather than confusing an infant's eyes with an array of images all at once, the nice thing about these books is that they are laid out very simplistically with one photograph and word per page on a solid-colored background. No clutter and no distractions. For the infant who is just starting to point at everything in the world and seek "identification tags", this entire series is the perfect first set of books.

Ever since he was an infant, my son has kept coming back to these books. I think it is because they can be easily adapted to teach a variety of concepts and they evolve to meet his constantly changing points of interest. I give this book five stars for a variety of reasons including the simple visual images it provides, the focused learning it encourages, and the variety of ways in which it can be used to teach not just words, but also other concepts such as colors. With its beautiful photography of real-life images set against simple, solid backgrounds, this book is definitely a solid choice with which to start your child's home library!

Gorgeous, colorful pictures of everyday items. My toddlers go to it again and again.

The pictures in this book are so vibrant. And the cover is made of a nice material that doesn't come off when my daughter gnaws on it. The corners are curved, so they don't poke.

My 7 month-old loves to look through this book on her own, or have it read to her. It's one of her favorites!

My only complaint (very minor) is that the teddy bear in it is really ugly and it shows a polo shirt and labels it "t-shirt" and shows a light jacket and calls it a "coat". Minor minor issues. No biggie.

Get this book!

We were given this book in the hospital when my daughter was born as a gift from a community literacy project. Now, at 7 months, it is one of her favorites. The format is perfect for a young baby with only one word and its corresponding picture per page. The beautiful photographs are set against a colorful background and the pages hold my daughter's attention much longer than most of the books specified for her age. The other bonus is its sturdy construction. Since my daughter loves to explore her books with her mouth, her other board books quickly become worn around the edges. Not this one. The durable material of which it is made is holding up beautifully. Highly recommend!

My 14-month-old loves this book. It's easy to hold and loaded with great photos. I think reading these books to her has helped her learn many new words in the past two months. Wonderful!

This book is great. The reason I like this book so much is because there are only two pictures to look at at a time. The pictures have bright colored backgrounds. There isn't too much information for the kids at once. This has been helpful with my twins since naming objects have been difficult. I can say, "point to the banana" and there are only two choices. I am ordering the other books too.

I had one of the Bright Baby books (colors) in my daughter's "library." I liked it so much better than most of what she had because it was one object per page with a big, real picture. Many of her other books had multiple pictures per page which made it hard to focus on one image or they had cartoonish pictures that weren't always a good representation of what they were supposed to be. Based on the ease and clarity of the Bright Baby Colors book, I ordered the First Words and the Animals books. I am not disappointed. With these books, there's one picture per page for my daughter to point to and for me to tell her what it is. I can tell that she's recognizing these pictures a lot easier and a lot quicker than images in other books. They are definitely a great tool for fun learning.
