1000 words with humorous and colorful pictures. This picture wordbook is specially designed to encourage looking, laughing and learning. Through lively and amusing illustrations, it introduces children to many of the words used to describe the familiar (and not so familiar) objects and scenes around them. The book can be used on many levels. For young children, it can be used as a "let's talk about it" book. Children will soon learn to recognize and name the objects, match pictures to words and talk fluently about the scenes. Older children will enjoy the visual jokes and be able to use the book as a first reference to spelling and new words. Some words are more common to British usage.
