Our copy is well used.,
This review is from: I'll Teach My Dog a Lot of Words (Bright & Early Board Books(TM)) (Board book)
This little book has fun with words. From digging a hole to standing on top of someone's thumb, we follow along as the dog learns a lot of words and concepts. We learn opposites: dark/light, day/night, here/there; we learn colors; we learn actions: wash your ears, scratch your head, blow your nose; we learn silliness: kiss the goose, clean the zoo. The pictures lend themselves well to pointing out objects and asking children questions. Yet they are simple enough not to be distracting. Our one year old requests this book quite often, as did his brother well into his 2's. It's the perfect size for little hands. It travels well, too. Our oldest was able to describe the illustrations just enough that we could use the book to spur conversations while in the car, making car rides more fun.

I'll Teach My Dog a Lot of Words,
By
This review is from: I'll Teach My Dog a Lot of Words (Bright & Early Board Books(TM)) (Board book)
ISBN 0375800999 - While this is an abridged version of the original, and those who are familiar with the original might not like the change, it's well worth picking up because it serves as a nice bridge for the littlest readers to those originals.
The narrator, setting out to teach his dog a lot of words, introduces the reader to those words, too! In rhyme, his dog learns actions and opposites, colors and more. The book is small, easily held by small hands, but the boards are a little flimsier than many other board books, so expect a few bent corners. The glossy pages are easy to wipe clean of sticky fingerprints, which is a nice little plus. The illustrations flawlessly illustrate the text and, best of all, your young reader will be on his/her way to I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words (Bright & Early Books) in no time! - AnnaLovesBooks

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of our son's favorite,
This review is from: I'll Teach My Dog a Lot of Words (Bright & Early Board Books(TM)) (Board book)
I have both the board book and the original with 100 words and I can tell you that the board book is way better for the under 2 crowd. Not only are the pages rip-proof, but it also includes all the cutest rhymes (kissing goose, painting underwear, etc.) which children will love. This has been one of my son's favorites ever since he started looking at books and he is now almost 2. Are you kidding -- a dog doing all sorts of fun things like begging for ice cream, blowing his nose, mowing the lawn and taking a bath? What more could a toddler want from a book? This book has also held its appeal for the longest time of all our books, and as he gets older he notices other items which didn't interest him before. I never read the books to him because he didn't like me reading the words to books anyway (go figure!), but we do talk about the items in the book so he still learns all the words. Easily a 5 star book for our family!
