First words are everywhere you look, especially in a house! This lovely picture book catalogues a variety of household items, naming the delightful miscellany that comprises a life. The charming collections are creative and unexpected, the sweetest of visual snapshots that reinforce word recognition and understanding: In addition to the expected kitchen and garden items, there are more surprising--and smart--spreads featuring 'things where you can take a nap,' 'things that keep you warm,' and the 'things that get lost' (parents will relate). Children will revel in the delicate illustrations of things they are learning to recognise, things they are discovering every day and things they will cherish and use as they grow.
