Little Rabbits' First Word Book

With a skip, hop, and a jump, four adorable bunnies go playing in the kitchen, in the garden, in the toy box, in the closet -- all over the house -- and learn the words for child-familiar objects along the way. Warm, meticulous illustrations help children recognize colors, shapes, bedtime words, bathtime words, animals, clothes, foods, and more. Over 150 words are depicted in 16 thematic sections. Simple word and concept games help children further broaden their vocabularies and develop early reading skills.

Ages 1^-4. This first vocabulary book uses basic words to label pictures of everyday objects, from toys to clothes. The pictures are bright and clear against lots of white space, and playful rabbit characters are shown having fun at the park, in the kitchen, around the house. Then there are pages on shapes and colors. A note at the back suggests games that adults can play to introduce the words and concepts to small children. Hazel Rochman
