Nice colour scheme, which is rare for a children’s book.
A good resource for first words.
Had this been more comprehensive and more detailed, could have been a better reading/teaching and learning experience.

Similar to the 2015 edition of a book by the same titles, this highlight of this book is it's beautiful imagery. A good introduction to basic words, though the 2015 edition is not a title that is often pulled from the shelves. The book benefits from the hidden mouse on each page.

Cute book that covers basic vocabulary for young children. Each 2-page spread contains animated pictures with labels around a theme (What animals are on a farm? cow, pig, etc.). There is a cute mouse that kids can search for on each page. Pages are not overcrowded.
A few words are British English vocabulary, and the book is produced by a British publisher. Not an issue, but some American English speakers may want to be aware.

This honest review was given in exchange for a Netgalley ebook copy.

I thought that this book was beautifully illustrated. I loved the simple illustrations with the name of the item. I think this would be perfect for any early readers learning vocabulary. I do wish there was a little more diversity in this book and showed more occupations and blended families. It wasn't super necessary for this book but just some food for thought.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

One Thousand Things is an adorable book for teaching young children first words. Age is probably 1-3 years old, the colors are bright and energetic but still muted. Each page is laid out beautifully and feels full and visually stimulating without overwhelming the reader.

I have to admit that the description and title feel a little misleading, "One Thousand Things" to me meant each page would feature one thousand things. So the first page might be one thousand apples laid out with a caption that reads "this is what one thousand apples looks like." etc.

What the book actually is a first words book. The beginning is more like "words about me" and it features body parts, clothes, etc. Then we get into words associated with family, seasons, animals etc.

I still couldn't tell you where the one thousand things came in. Was there one thousand things in the whole book? I don't know.

If you're like me and think this is going to have one thousand things on each page, this is not your book. BUT if you're looking for a modern take on a first words book, it's great!

Very cute story! I loved the artwork.

However, it wasn’t at all what I expected. I assumed each 2 pages would be a set of items and what 1000 of them would look like - a book about perspective.

I believe the book has a total of 1000 items? But it doesn’t feel like it, This book is more-so a book of words.
However, I also would not consider some of them to be “first-words” like having the colour “olive green” and “rose” on the same page as “yellow” etc.

It would be cute to use with young children - but some parts like the colours may make it confusing

I read this to my niece and she giggled the whole time. Very simplistic but very straightforward! Great artstyle type, and delivers a wholesome experience for the whole family. I will be getting a hardcopy when it comes out for when she comes over.

A super quick read for me! What a stunning book for little ones. My toddler will absolutely LOVE this! I am definitely going to purchase a hard copy for him. He is obsessed with basically everything in here - numbers, letters, shapes, animals, dinosaurs, facial features, activities outside. We’ll have a whale of a time reading it together.

The artwork is very visually appealing too. Bright and engaging and perfect for little minds and eyes.
