A delightful picture word book with colourful pages that deal with first experiences from playtime, sleepy time, animals and pets, to transport and making music. Each picture is filled to the brim, and words with pictures are picked out on every page to support children with first literacy skills. A vibrant picture section at the back gives first numbers, colours, shapes, and opposites.
