This picture book is a great teaching tool for vocabulary building. A set of wonderful pictures show exactly what a baby animals looks like and all children seem to just love them. It is like a dictionary of animals for toddlers. The pictures are clear, the colors are nice, and the letters are big enough. It's excellent for your little one to helps him build confidence in his ability to "read" the letters from A to Z (shown on the pages for the words shown that begin with them).The best thing about this book is the wonderful illustration of each animal - clearly labeled with its name. As you read this book over and over to your child it won't be long before they are the ones pointing to the picture and telling you what it is. Just point and say.
