The Big Book of First Words

More than 100 first words, beautifully illustrated for little learners.

Help your little one discover the wonderful world of words with The Big Book of First Words, a beautifully illustrated board book created by speech therapist Tabitha Paige, MS, CCC-SLP, bestselling author of the Our Little Adventures series.

Filled with charming watercolor illustrations and more than 100 foundational vocabulary words, this thoughtfully designed book introduces young children to familiar objects, animals, foods, and places from the world around them.

Explore animals together, name favorite fruits and vegetables, discover things that go, wander through the garden, visit the beach, and so much more. Each page creates opportunities for pointing, naming, talking, and connecting words with familiar objects and experiences.

With sturdy board pages and durable binding made for repeat reading, it's a beautiful first vocabulary book designed to withstand all the pointing, page-turning, and "again!" that comes with a curious little reader. Not to mention and page chewing.....

Little Words Are a Big Beginning

Before little ones can tell us everything they're thinking, they're busy taking in the language all around them.

The Big Book of First Words gives parents and caregivers a beautiful way to make those everyday language moments part of playtime. Point to an illustration, say its name, ask your child to find it, make its sound, talk about its color, or connect it to something they've seen in their own world.

As your child's language grows, the same pages can inspire new questions and conversations—making this a book you'll reach for at different stages of early childhood.
