 | Great first 'GB' English book...but if you are an AMERICAN... read on... Jun 20, 2007 |
| I recently bought this book (and also the first 1000 Words in German) for our daughter. The book is very good, but American parents may need to make some changes in order to speak the same "language" that your child is learning. There are around 100 absolutely BRITISH words in the book where you might need to also write the American English word, so that your child learns both. (For example Lorry, Sticking Plaster, Petrol, Pram, Push-Chair to name a few...are not used in America.) Otherwise it is a great book. |

 | Great pictures, my 2-year-old loves this book! Feb 23, 2007 |
| This looks set to be a book that will have quite a few years' use in our household - and right now my youg daughter is loving the discovery of familiar (and unfamiliar) objects in the incredibly detailed and busy pictures. It's amazing how the artist manages to create so many little scenes and activities within each big picture, which create a talking point and a chance to invent stories around what you can see in the pictures. Much more than just a word book. |

| Every child should have one Jan 19, 2007 |
| A fantastic learning aid for young children. This book encourages young ones to spell words enabling them to write their own stories by looking for pictures of items with their attached name and then learning how to spell the word. We bought the English and French edition so our little one is learning how to spell in both languages. Fantastic book. |

 | Worst sticker book. Dec 29, 2006 |
| Don't buy this book. You need to be a surgeon to be able to remove the stickers from the sticker pages. You then have to search endlessly with your child to find the proper location for it. There are many other more enjoyable options that do not provide as much frustration as this product... |

| Fun in the ESL class Jan 17, 2005 |
| Wow what a great book. I use it for teaching my ESL children's classes. It is great in small groups of low level students. First one to show me where the crab is gets a sticker! The pictures are just wonderful. I wish Heather Amery would make a speed slap card game based on some of the pages. |
