One hundred photographs of everyday food fill this picture book, each one paired with the word for what it shows.
The images are clear and uncluttered, which is what a baby or toddler needs when learning to match a picture to a spoken word. Working through the pages a few at a time builds naming vocabulary around meals, markets and kitchen items, and it gives a parent an easy shared activity that needs no preparation: point, name, and let the child repeat until the word sticks.
Reasons to pick it up:
• A hundred clear food photographs rather than stylised drawings
• One word per image, so nothing competes for attention
• Builds mealtime vocabulary a child already hears every day
• Sharpens looking and pointing skills in babies and toddlers
Written for babies and toddlers and the adults reading with them, and useful in playgroups running early language sessions. Find it at Boipoka.
