Bought this for my then, one year old. I like that it has photos rather than illustrations because everything was so recognizable to her. She still reads it now at age two and finds something new to look at or count. Very nice book.
I bought all 6 books in this series. I think they are excellent books for building vocabulary in a young child. I much prefer the format of pictures rather than cartoons or sketches. The tabs on the pages help small fingers (and large!) turn the pages easily (board books tend to stick together). There are more pages than you usually get in a board book, too, and therefore more vocabulary words. They really put a lot onto each page. My minor criticism of the series: they reuse some pictures from one book to the next, and they could have made the "Colors" and "Numbers" books more interesting.This is my rank order of the books in the series:AnimalsWordsFarmThings That GoColorsNumbers
I like this book and how it goes through the numbers. My one-year-old daughter loves it because she likes to count. However, compared to some of the other "My First..." books, this is one of my least favorites because there aren't as many pictures on a page. For example, the first page is #1, so there is one large train on the page. For two, it has a child and shows two hands and two feet, pairs of socks and shoes, etc. In other "My First" books the pages are usually filled with pictures, so I do wish it had more pictures to point and look at. Also, it goes from 1-10, but the it has a page with 20,30,40,50, and 100. I wish it had at least #1-20, since my baby obviously won't be counting up to fifty anytime soon. However, she does enjoy reading it and often chooses it to read, so it's appealing to young kids.
I love the whole series of these books. The photos are bright and clear, and the tabs make it easy for my toddler nephew to flip. He loves pointing to objects and waiting for us to tell him what they are. He's still to young to actually count but it's great fun "reading" with him.
Our daughter LOVES all of the books we have from DK Publishing. We really enjoy reading this book together. There are a lot of things to count, the pictures are engaging, and it's aesthetically pleasing.
Purchased for my 2 toddlers (ages 2 and 3) - they have a few of the books in this series and love every single one!PROS: bright pictures; relevant to real-world concepts; organized (each tab represents an individual number or concept); words are included below the picture (along with the quantity); large size board book is perfect for rough toddlersCONS: after extensive long use (by rough toddlers!) the tabs can start to bend at the top but this is expected when toddlers love books ;)OVERALL: sturdy made product perfect for growing minds of toddlers
My 18 month old daughter instantly liked it and goes through it everyday. She can now identify numbers and count also. This book is very good for teaching colors too. All the pictures are vibrant and bright.
My daughter is 22 months old and is obsessed with this darling book. She already knew 1-10, before we bought it, this book just has helped her learn to count items. We love it, and she loves all the pictures. HIGHLY recommend these books.
