This book can be used with children who have not yet learned to read and with beginner readers.
Each picture-packed page is fun to read together, and a great way to help children's language
and literacy skills.
Picture-and-word pages
Most of this book is made up of picture-and-word pages filled with nouns, plus some verbs and adjectives. These pages help broaden your child’s vocabulary and knowledge.
Story pages
There are also five simple stories to read that introduce more useful words, put words into context, and help sentence writing and story writing skills.
How to help your child get the most out of this book
All the pages in this book offer lots of opportunities for talking and learning. Enjoy exploring and talking about them together. Point out things your child likes. For instance, you could say, “Look, there’s a tiger! Can you roar like a tiger?” or “Which fruit do you like?”
Go at your child’s pace. Let her take the lead and turn the pages.
Stop if she is tired, and return to the book another time.
For children who are not yet reading
Point to the pictures as you read the words and sentences to help them identify things, and to show how the pictures and words are connected.
For children who are beginning to read
As they read, or as you read together, point to the words, or encourage them to point, to help their letter and word recognition.
Following the stories
Pre-readers and beginner readers can follow the stories by running a finger along the dotted lines. This helps their fine motor skills, too.
“Can you find?” games and simple questions
There are “Can you find?” games and simple questions on the
picture-and-word pages that encourage learning. Your child may need help with these, or he may like you to join in and answer with him.
Most importantly, follow your child’s interests, talk about things you know he enjoys, give lots of praise as he answers the questions, and have fun!

A note about high- frequency words
High-frequency words, or sight words, are words that occur most often in books and other writing. Many are not nouns, verbs, or adjectives, but they are useful words such as “the,”
“and,” “it,” “I,” and so on.
When children begin to read at school, they learn high-frequency words because these words will help them make sense of a sentence. Since quite a few can’t be sounded out, children practice learning them by sight.
This book contains some high- frequency words, particularly in the question text and story pages.
A list of Fry’s first 100 high- frequency words is below. The 100 words are in frequency order.
