Readers who open the vinyl-coated, padded cover of Picture My World: First Word Book will discover more than 400 words presented in eight sections (including "clothing," "transportation" and "animals"). Crisp, clearly labeled photos appear in nursery-hued checkerboard spreads, and a pink mouse named Monty hosts the proceedings. Each page asks a question related to the pictures; for example, a spread with an artichoke, broccoli, pumpkin and green peas asks, "What vegetable is carved for Halloween?"Children's Literature
This is a picture dictionary for the toddler set that introduces things they would encounter. The sections are introduced with a bit of humor and a challenge to identify the objects that make up Monty the mouse's world. This book looks at toys, art supplies, clothing, food, items around the house, transportation, nature and more. Each page asks a question to get kids involved in learning the names of the items, colors, shared characteristics or the purpose of an item. The book is pretty much up-to-date and definitely aimed at kids who live in a fairly affluent society where television, VCRs, or in-line skates are items that they would be expected to encounter. The animals, on the other hand, are those that one would most likely see at a zoo. There is an index that recaps the words and gives the page numbers. 2003, Hyperion,— Charles Wyman
