This One's Hard to Beat! Rating:
5 / 5
I bought this book for my son when he was about 14 months old, and he loved it from the first moment he laid eyes on it. Now, at almost 21 months old, he's still fascinated by it and can name about 75% of the pictures in the book. It is organized into categories so that kids learn which things go together (e.g., apples, bananas, and grapes are all fruit). We take it almost everywhere, but it is especially useful on long car trips. While in the car, we can find things we see outside and then figure out where they are in the book, or at least what category they might go into if they aren't in the book.
I haved tried to purchase this for friends' children, but to no avail; this version seems to be quite hard to come by.
Nearly as good is the updated "My Big Word Book" by Roger Priddy. I think the layout of that book is more attractive, but I worry about the durability of the spiral binding. All in all, however, I have yet to find a Priddy book that wasn't a big hit with my toddler!
Great book Rating:
5 / 5
My 18 month old twins just love turning the pages of this book and looking at all the pictures. I bought this book when they were less than a year old, and they would be overjoyed when I would sit down with them and point out and name the different objects on the page. Now that they are older, they want to hold the book and turn the pages for themselves and in the process have torn many pages of this much loved book. I think this book is a great teaching tool for parents of young children.
Worth the buy (again) for my younger children Rating:
5 / 5
This is the third time I am purchasing this book. The first two were so loved and worn that the pages eventually fell out. Now my two year old is interested in naming everything under the sun, and he deserves his own Big Book of Everything. If he wears through this one before my 6 month old is ready for it, I'd buy a fourth.
