Sam’s First Word Book
Written and Illustrated by Yves Got

Reading Level: Baby-Preschool

From elephant to stroller, computer to overalls, more than one hundred colorful images illustrate baby's world. Young children will delight in recognizing the familiar objects and favorite animals in this chunky padded covered book that's perfect for lap sharing and building vocabulary! Each page features a simple picture and corresponding word or phrase. Got has included a few “tough” words such as “onesie” and some kiddlings may get frustrated but most of the words are great..("baby," "Mom," and "Dad").
The bold, cartoonlike illustrations are outlined in thick black lines and set against brightly colored backgrounds. With just one picture per page, it's very easy for children to focus and learn while you two read together. Don’t be alarmed by the vast number of pages this book has (over 100)….it goes by quickly and most kids can probably get through it.
