My First Learning Library (Box Set) (Board book)

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Reading, writing, and 'rithmetic--that's what it's all about. With these three pint-size board books, young scholars can begin the walk down the grand path of knowledge. These straightforward First Learning books uphold DK Publishing's reputation for clear, colorful, educational board books for young readers. Each one uses photographs of familiar objects such as balls, ladybugs, teapots, cows, and swimsuits to illustrate learning concepts.

My First ABC Board Book takes the traditional alphabet book approach: an upper- and lower-case letter appears on each page, along with pretty pictures of objects beginning with that letter (ant, buttons, cucumber). My First Number Board Book teaches essential preschool number skills: 1--one fluffy kitten, 2--two striped socks, 3--three birthday presents, and so on, with lovely full-page photos of each object. The bestselling My First Word Board Book is a mini picture "dictionary," with categories such as "In the garden," "Things that go," and "All about me." Photographs of related items (rake, soil, flower, snail, wheelbarrow) with the associated word help young readers categorize objects and connect words to images. With this perfect little package of all three books, even the tiniest tots can begin to expand their vocabulary and learn to count! (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have learning, November 25, 1999

By A Customer

I got these for my son for his first birthday and now that we have another child, I have bought her another set of her own. They were my son's favorite books. They are the right size for him to hold by himself and he can sit for a hour just looking at the pictures and trying to remember what they are. I recommend these books for every child. They are great to look through with your child or for your child to read alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Learning Books, November 23, 1999

By	Nikki Atkins (Alabama) - See all my reviews

We bought these for our 3 year old daughter and they are the best learning "tools". She can easily identify the letters and pictures and has so much fun learning. I recommend these to anyone with young children who are learning to read and count.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any child, December 13, 1999

By A Customer

My 21 month old son loves the book's clear pictures and uncluttered nature. The format is great for learning the names of objects, colors, numbers, etc. We now play "where is the ...". The past six months have made these board books so well worn I will have to buy new ones for my younger son.
