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

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

loved the book

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.

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

As a former teacher on the early childhood and early elementary levels I found that most children were quickly engrossed in this book. The book can be used for identification, labeling and counting and provides lots of material for child-adult interaction.

I love Usborne books for teaching beginner foreign language students. Although there are a few words that don't jive with what English speakers where I live in the United States (New England), this is an excellent resource for ESL students of any age. Some examples of words used that would be different in New England are hens vs. chickens, sofa vs. couch, coin purse vs. change purse, chest of drawers vs. dresser, baby buggy vs. baby carriage, sandpit vs. sand box, railway cars vs. railroad cars, walking stick vs. cane, grocery sack vs. grocery bag, tummy vs. stomach, mail carrier vs. mailman.

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.

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.

Bellissimo! Mia figlia lo adora!

This was bought as part of a birthday present for a 4yr old Ukrainian girl, recently arrived as a refugee in the UK. She hardly has any English yet and my hope is that she might sit down with her mum and learn some new words. Her mum (who already has pretty good English) thought she'd also find it really helpful! The book is well set out with good drawings of different settings, and objects with words next to them. There are also yellow ducks hidden amongst the drawings on each page, for younger readers to find. I was impressed with the book, though I haven't heard yet how well it's gone down.

buen libro para el aprendizaje del ingles

Produto excelente; eu já o conhecia, sou professora de Inglês, e recomendo esse produto para crianças e adultos que queiram aprender vocabulário de uma forma lúdica. Um ex-aluno quis comprar meu dicionário, e, eu o vendi para ele. Comprei um outro para mim, e também tenho o mesmo dicionário em Francês, ainda não falo fluentemente, mas tenho o dicionário pq ele é bom.

Love this book for my little one
