Reviews
""First 100 Words" by Roger Priddy was bought as a gift for my sons’s first birthday and it is the perfect book for a one year old. It is quite a basic book and the sort of board book most children will have at some stage in their life. This version of the book is pretty small (it's 5 x 6 inches; an over-sized ABC/colors version can be found here), and it can withstand rough little hands as it is a board book."

"My toddler loves this book!"
"This is necessary for every child."
"I love this book, it’s colorful and captures attention of my baby."

Reviews
"We've collected every single Seuss children's book, but there are three books in particular that we've now ordered four copies of, because they can be personalized by the grandkids to make them truly "their own"! This is somewhat along the lines of a baby book you'd receive as a baby shower gift, with pages where your child can trace his hand and foot, etc, but there's oh so much more in the way of fun facts for him/her to fill in to help them remember "where their head was at" at that age, with a little help from Dr. Seuss and many bright, colorful illustrations!"
"I purchased 3 of these this year to give to my oldest grand-children for Christmas."
"I bought this book years ago for my son and now my daughter wants one."
"Bought one for each of my kiddos for the holidays, I had the same book 30 years ago."
"I can't wait to compare what he writes to what I wrote!"
"My hubby had one of these as a child."
"Item is printed upside down in relation to cover and back."
"The whole thing is printed upside down."
