While I agree with a lot of what was already said, I am not nearly as angry about it. It's a toddler book- I think we can all stay calm.First, this book is great for my one year old because it has a soft cover that withstands his teething, thick board pages that are easy for him to turn without tearing, and is extremely colorful and inviting for him to look at. With the large pictures, he points to those he's interested in and even recognizes the ones like DOG!! However, please keep in mind that it is a small board book (diaper bag small), and not huge like the 100 first words book by the same publisher.But, like others have said, there are not 100 animals in this book. Many are repeated. Also, there are some very random and out there animals that most toddlers and children are not going to need to familiarize themselves with while learning the basics of speech.But, if you're looking for a colorful, inviting book to keep your young toddler interested and learning new words, this book is great! Perfect price for a diaper bag book!
My 3.5 month twins love these "first 100.." series books! Sure as other reviewers have mentioned they're not the absolute best books for learning, but my girls stay entertained and the book is not expensive at all!
This animal book would be great for babies, toddlers, and kids. A great purchase for my 18 month old. I was initially hesistant to get a book without words for my daughter becuase I like being able to read her a story. I'm glad I didn't listen to myself. Each page is a differnt theme (farm animals, rivers/lakes wildlife, animals of the forest/woods, jungle wildlife, african animals, polar animals, sea/ocean wildlife, australian animals, and little critters (insects)) with approx 6-10 pics per page. The pictures are clear with colorful backgrounds and are a wonderful jumping-off point to talk about the animals with young kids. My daughter now often asks for the "animal book" when just after waking up.Very educational and the pictures are great.I agree there are not 100 animals and they might not need to learn every animal there, but you have at-least 60% of animals that a toddler should know, so I am glad with this purchase.
I didn't read the listing completely and was really surprised that this book is half the size as the other "First 100" books. I actually like the size now though, because it is easy to throw in my purse or diaper bag and take on the go.Like the other books in the series, it is durable, colorful, and very well made. My son loves looking at the pictures and turning the pages on his own (9 months old), and I love reading it to him. It has a lot of beautiful pictures and some animals I hadn't even heard of. The categories of animals are varied and will be helpful in the future for teaching about where the animals live.You really can't go wrong with these books!
I got this book for my almost 2 year old son. He loves books and animals so I figured this would be a win win! He loves this book and brings it often to me, so that we can look at it together. The book is very sturdy and filled with vibrant pictures of animals. They have farm animals, insects, all different kinds of birds, ect. It is all in two page categories.My only critique would be that sometimes they'll have a picture of a cat and kitten and they look practically the same, so trying to teach him the difference is hard. Same with pony, foal, horse.Overall I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend!
This series of books is hard cardboard and sturdy for little hands. The pictures are simple and representative. The colors are bright. Some of the text needs to be a different color for the background but it's easy enough to understand what it's saying from the picture. My grandson will actually sit long enough to go through one of these books and he's only 15 months.
This book was OK. Me and my little one preferred My Big Animal Book instead and would recommend that one over this.
My 14-month-old loves this book, but I'm a little disappointed with it. The colors are bright and the pictures are great quality in terms of resolution. But there are really obscure animals on some pages, while more "everyday" animals are left out. There are also several animals repeated throughout the book. I know those are picky complaints, but I just hoped it would be a little more helpful in teaching him his "basic" animals.My biggest complaint, however, is how cheaply it is made. It has not been used anymore than any of our other board books, but it is already falling apart after less than three months in the house.
