This was a book for my 2 year old toddler. He's starting to learn about different colors. I like it that it speaks "clearly" about each color. You can understand what its saying, unlike some other children's book that seems like saying everything in the same tone, saying the same thing. The book is hardcover and every page is hard paper. So your toddler cannot destroy this book, you are able to pass it on to your next kid.
Mt son (1½) has all three of these books and they've been a great addition to our learning library! Each page is dedicated to a single color and has numerous items in that particular color on the page. This makes it great for not only learning colors, but other everyday items as well. The push buttons are bright and the voice says each color name loud and clear. There are times when he just doesn't want to sit with me and go over his colors and numbers, so these books still allow him to HEAR the word without my having to be there to say it to him. Overall, I definitely recommend this and the other two books in this collection. They've been a fun interactive way to teach my son his colors!
My son is deaf and has a cochlear implant, so we got him this book to help him start associating spoken words with signs he already knows. He loves it! He likes matching the correct button to the page and likes signing all the colors he sees, while he's learning their English word equivalents. I'd imagine this book is fun for all kids though! The words are pretty clear to hear too, not robotic or mumbled like a lot of kids electronic toys can be. Great book-- we have others in this series now as well.
I like this book because we can press the colored buttons to hear the sound as well as teaching the colors to our son. All the colors are pronounced correctly, except BROWN. The word is cut off, almost leaving off the N, making it sound like BROW. Some of the examples are weird and I think they could have found better items to describe some of the colors. Also, the last page which the colors are reviewed, only 5 of the 8 colors are present which I think is weird. It's just okay.
My 15 month old loves these books. I have to keep them out of her reach so she won't ruin them, but when I can supervise her or read with her she never wants to stop playing with them. The Number book has suffered at her hands; she damaged the binding between the last page and the hard back which holds the buttons, this happens to be the only part of the book which is not heavily constructed as we know board books to be. I have taped it back together and will just have to keep a better eye on her when I give her the books. We have bought Let's say our Alphabet, Colors, Animals, and Numbers and she loves them all. We got her the Number book when she was about 8 months old, just before her language ability took off like a rocket, and before I knew what happened my husband was telling me that she said,"8." It was one of her first words! Thanks to Let's say our Numbers. She has been working on her ABC's so I had to get her a book to reinforce her learning. After breakfast is a good time to sit and let her play with her books, I can read my magazines or books, and she can play with her books. She can't grasp all of the sounds yet but when she tries something new it is super exciting. She will also go through the books looking at the pictures saying, "What's that!", "What's that!" with every turn of the page and it gives me more chances to say the words she is supposed to be learning, it is awesome fun to she her mind in action! I am hoping she will be able to sing the whole ABC Song by the time she is two and she is on the right track thanks to awesome books like the Let's Say Our...series. She has not yet said any animals, or colors but she loves the pictures and I expect she will be trying some of those new words very soon.
I hope others who thinks on buying these books take precaution and not go by all the five stars....I got three of the "Simple First Words" book and only one of the three worked which was the one that says "Let's Talk". This was a gift for a lil one about to turn two....she got SOOO excited and to come to this book and it not function its buttons she was highly upset and pouting....so make sure you check this book before you give to a child if you decide to buy.
We purchased Lets say your first words and Polar bear what did u hear sound book from local Costco when my daughter was 6 months old. I really like the concept and very easy press and hear concept of these books and wanted to have this colors book also in the collection.first we received a defective item, it did not make any sound unless we press it hard behind the book where the battery slot is. my little girl used to come back to her dad n keep asking to changing batteries in it ( she now knows if a book doesn't give sound means it needs battery replacement :) ). is very good in handling these problems , they immediately sent a replacement book.This worked great. loud enough for toddlers to catch the words. we carry this even in our car to keep her engaged for some time.the book shows lot of objects with associated color on each page and most of them are common use items which is good for her to relate. over all very good book with bright colors.
