Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1-This book deserves a second look just for the unique figures and scenes. They are formed from a modeling material and have minute details that keep the eyes busy scanning and re-scanning each page. Double-page spreads of town, house, yard, family, etc. feature about 20 clearly labeled pictures of such objects as bridges, bathtubs, barbecues, and brothers. Each spread has a word search tie-in, e.g., "Find six cassettes" in "The living room"; for "The bedroom," "Find four spiders." The pages are busy but have a remarkable attention to detail, such as magnets on the refrigerator and a stopper in the bathroom sink. Over 500 words are indexed for quick searches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teh usborne book of everyday words, January 28, 2001

This review is from: Everyday Words (Library Binding)

I think this book is fantastic and should be kept by every parent with little children, even for my own child who is now only one and half year old. She loves this book at first sight. The pictures are bright and look real in the busy everyday environment. Everytime you read it, you discover some new things. The paper quality is good and it is not easy to be damaged by my baby. The problem now I have is I have to read with my baby every page every night before she agrees to go to sleep. She likes to point to every item in the page and ask me to tell her the names.

This review is from: Everyday Words (Hardcover)

My first grade students love this book! It is equally valued by my gifted and also struggling students. The children use it in a story writing center to help when they need to spell a word, or get ideas. This book is arranged by themes rather than alphabetically, for example, there is a 2 page spread of food words. This helps the students who are not ready to look up words alphabetically. The pictures are bright and clear. The book is sturdy enough to survive being handled daily by several students. Easily 5 stars!!
