Summary

Part of the My First Picture Book series: perfect for every toddler to help build language, understanding and enjoyment.

My Book of First Words
is the perfect companion for children just learning to spot and name, or learning to recognise words. Bright illustrations bring to life all the key objects and favourite things from a child's world. This is one of two 24pp paperback editions of Big Book of My World, featuring all the elements that help to build vocabulary and language confidence (the companion book is My Book of Numbers, Shapes and Colours).

Kali's first book, Peely Wally, was selected to be part of the Booktrust's Books for Babies scheme. 150,000 copies will be distributed to mothers and babies throughout the UK in 2012.
