First Thousand Words in English: An Entertaining Illustrated Word Book for Children (Ages 5-8) to Learn English

loved the book

great book for our kids -- got this in several different languages -- very helpful and FUN !!!

I have a baby granddaughter who has family members who only speak Spanish. I bought the Spanish version of this first and then realized that having identical copies, as far as the illustrations, but with captions in both English and Spanish, would give her a even better head start in learning both languages. I think this is a series best used with adult and child working together. I like that there are 'layers' of learning activities so that the books will be useful up through the early elementary school years. There are suggestions for parents for learning activities. Be aware that there is a (white cover??) copy of this book that is in British English ( a truck is a lorry; an apartment is a flat; a car trunk is a boot, etc.) Ask the seller if you're not sure and you want American English.

This is a sturdy edition, with attractive images for children. As a foreign buyer from a non-English speaking country, it has been hard for me to find books containing such large vocabulary, without any translations - which I find undesirable during the learning process of children. If one considers that about 8k words is considered by many professionals as educated native speaker competence, purchasing a book with 1000 words already seems like a good investment.

Super cute book! American customers be advised that there are British English versions of vocabulary, didn't bother us, just an FYI.

This was used to help an adult learn English words. I bought it used and the seller said condition was “ very good” but it was not quite there. My review is for the book alone.

I found this book to be just what i wanted for my 33 month old grandchild. Covered all sorts of scenes with many words. nice index of words in alphabetical order with page number you can find a word and picture you are searching for. Covers animals and opposites. There is a lot on each page and it can be overwhelming for some children who need just one or a few pictures on a page. A great seek and find book for kids too.

I couldn't find this in English for the longest time. I got the Spanish one first. My now 2-year-old son loved it. I thought I could teach him Spanish once I got the English one since I'd have it as a reference. Unfortunately, The pictures and words are not the same between the two versions. This was a bit of a let-down. My son still loves both books, but I'm not able to use them for my intended purpose. Separately, they are stellar books and I have to give them a solid rank.
