Sweet as a Bug: “D-dog, d-dog! I always look for the dog right away and then, the kitty! Well, okay, maybe it’s the ball first or the flower, I just can’t decide! There are so many great things to look at in this book and can’t wait to say every single word in here. From flowers to kitties to cups, I could read and say all of this book over and over again. My mom is always pointing to the different pictures helping me find new words to say. I just love it!
Mom’s Two Cents: “Teaching little one’s their first words can be fun and sometimes more difficult than you could think. As adults we take words for granted, the things we see everyday and speak without batting an eye. Words like, apple, pants, cup and so many others. Without little books like First Words the task of teaching wouldn’t be impossible, but definitely a little more daunting.
“Each page is basic and perfect for little one’s small hands. If I had any qualms about the book it would be the fact that there are no illustrations. I’m not a huge fan of actual pictures in toddler/beginning books, but that’s more of a personal taste than a problem with the book because it is very tastefully done. First Words by Priddy Books is the perfect addition to any beginning readers library. With 26 pages of new words to teach your little one, you will both enjoy learning and sharing together.”
The1stdaughter Recommends: Ages 6 months to 3 years. Perfect for little hands just getting to know the world around them.
For the Comments: What was your first word?
(Those interested…The Turkeybird’s was “Truck”, Littlebug’s was “dancing”, and The1stdaughter’s was “fish”.)

This looks like a wonderful early literacy book! Precious!
Definitely perfect for early learning and definitely a favorite of my Bug.
Glad Littlebug enjoys it. We have a bunch of the Priddy books and I agree, they are AWESOME for teaching new words, even up to ages 3-4. The Big Book of Animals is a huge favorite around here.
So many of the Priddy books are fabulous! I’ve seen The Big Book of Animals, but haven’t picked it up. I’m sure it’s another one Bug would adore!
I’m sure it was Dada.
BUT I’m so opinionated it may have been NO too
I could see that! LOL
You are going to give me baby-rabies with these cute books. I am not getting any younger ya know. Still, I will be good and keep these books in mind for my step grandkids:)
LOL! I love it! “Baby-Rabies” hehe. My mother as well as my mother-in-law are always reading the site to find books and get ideas for their grandbabies…so definitely keep them in mind.
