Description

Bedroom, window, cooker, sofa, garden, family, playing, bedtime... introduce your little ones to the words they'll encounter around them at home, with cute characters, bright colours and playful scenes.

My Home in 100 Words introduces a range of different scenes and objects, from eating in the kitchen to bubbles in the bathroom, and windows to armchairs. Along with the home items, each scene contains one feeling word and one action word to spot, such as happy and hiding - colour-coded circles point them out. With a bright cover that adds visual and tactile interest, this fun book inspires a deeper knowledge of the world, introduces language skills and supports emotional intelligence.

An original, contemporary take on teaching first words, the My World in 100 Words series of board books helps children ages 0-3 boost vocabulary, engage with the world around them and become familiar with specific subjects. With bright, playful illustrations from Marijke Buurlage, each book explores a different theme, including the garden and the seaside. With 10 words per page and variation between full scenes and visual lists, there's plenty for children to look at and enjoy. Other titles in the My World in 100 Words series: Halloween, Nursery, Christmas.
