Book Review written by Amy D Blevins -- Copyright 2007

Pages:  64
Features:  Find the Duck
Languages:  10 available

Useful for picture recognition, vocabulary, spy games, journal starters, storytelling, story starters, site word recognition, critical thinking, and color/shape recognition -- to name a few -- First Thousand Words has been a favorite in our homeschool since my oldest was two years old!  Each two-page spread features a scene from life; with a margin of individual items surrounding it.  Babies to adults enjoy finding the items in the margin within the scene.  Each two-page spread also features Stephen Cartwright's signature Usborne Duck; a small duck hidden in all of his books!  Children enjoy this book younger then you might expect -- I have had one year olds who got involved in reading it.

Possible Negatives:  Girls in Bikinis, Boys with no shirts on, Santa Claus
