Early learning: first word books

Published on 3 March 2020 by Dorling Kindersley Ltd (DK Children) in the United Kingdom as part of 'the Learn with a Ladybird' series.

Go on a first words adventure with a friendly ladybird as you follow finger trails and explore exciting, peep-through, cut-out pages in this playful learning book.

Bright illustrated scenes feature first word topics that stimulate early learning, with clear labels for each picture and fun rhymes to read aloud. See a teddy, doll, ball, dog, and bricks in the playroom, a tree, cat, butterfly, and flowers in the garden, favourite animals on the farm, a car, bus, plane, and train around town, and more. Preschoolers will soon be pointing to all the things and naming them as they follow the finger trails, look through the peepholes, and join in with the first word game.

Five popular preschool early learning topics are covered (things in the garden, toys, food, vehicles, and farm animals) and there are more than 35 first words to learn helping language and early reading development. The finger trails and peep-through pages develop observation and book-handling skills, and encourage fine motor control.

With an enticing die-cut cover, charming artwork, and exciting, real-life photos that build knowledge, this colourful toddler first word book is a great way to help your little one learn before starting school. It will appeal to toddlers' and preschoolers' imaginations as they join in with Little Ladybird and say each word!
