5.0 out of 5 stars Great beginning-reader learning tool!
My older son is 3 years old and wanting to read more and more. This was a terrific little book that introduced him to some "sight words"... words that you can't, at least at age 3, necessarily sound out using basic phonics rules, but have to recognize when you see them. We liked it so much that now I'm hunting for more!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Great pictures, but not a great teaching tool
I bought this book as a reading supplement for my kids. Alas, the book's fonts are different from the letters children use when first learning to read and write, so letters like "g" and "I" and "a" resulted in some confusion.

I love Eric Carle's picture books, but as a learning tool, this one falls short of its intended purpose.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book for preschoolers, February 1, 2007

This review is from: My Very First Book of Words (Board book)
this has been a really great book for our 3-now-4-year-old who is just beginning to pick out sight words. it's really helped him matching lower case with upper case letters. as the other reviewer said, i wouldn't recommend it for a younger child; it's not a picture book as such. but for beginning readers, i think it's terrific.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for learning to write, August 1, 2008

This review is from: My Very First Book of Words (Board book)
I originally got this for my 1 1/2 year old, who had no interest in it. I'd agree with the other comments that the format is bad for that age level. However, my 4 1/2 year old got really interested in it, and it was the prompt that really got her working on her letters on her own. She would sit and copy words from the book and look through the book to match up words and pictures. Because there are so few words, I think it was approachable to her.

2.0 out of 5 stars Can be confusing for a child, December 9, 2006

This review is from: My Very First Book of Words (Board book)
I bought this book thinking this would be a good book to get a toddler interested in reading. Upon opening this book, I noticed that all the pages are divided; the top is all words, the bottom is all pictures. You have to find the word to go with the picture. Very annoying to say the least because one has to go back and forth all over this book to find what matches what. Luckily I didn't spend much for it. The art is pretty as usual, but thumbs down on this book; it can make a child hyper trying to figure it out.
