Very First Book of Things to Spot - Out and about

Very useful and pleased with my purchase. Has some questions listed on each page so parents get the idea of what things to ask, but parents can make even more questions. There are fun cut outs, bright colors, and scenes that spark imagination. I will use this book with a 2 year old as a way to assess and enforce learning of counting, colors, words, etc. Also - all these scenes are unique from the original Very First Things to Spot book and in fact, I will use them together. My only complaints are at that, the board book pages are a tad thin so don't expect them to withstand baby droll and chewing or bending... and the images are cutesy/childlike which could cause some confusion as to what their real counterparts are but usually the connection between the two can be explained (like bunnies have long ears even though the overall silhouette is odd). Overall, I love how these books helped my son start answering questions orally and proved to me how my son understood the complex questions being asked to him - it was really a breakthrough for us.

I bought this for my two-year and 18-month-old sons. The "Very First Book of Things to Spot" series came highly recommended by several Usborne reviews I found on YouTube. The book includes prompts for the parents to follow, like, "How many little bears are there?" or "Who's wearing yellow boots?" My two-year-old really enjoys this book and can sit on the couch for an hour with me, looking for different things. Sometimes I follow the prompts, and sometimes I make up my own questions. The illustrations are bright, vivid, and cheerful. While my 18-month-old doesn't answer many of the prompts, he can name different animals and enjoys looking at the illustrations. Not only do I enjoy this for my children, but I like that it encourages more parent-child interaction.

Bought this for my one-year-old and love it! The pictures are fun and entertaining. It will grow with him, as he understand more and is able to notice more of the details in the images and follow more of the "spot" instructions.

One of our very favorite books. Both daughters have loved it so much we have purchased it twice. Great for 2yr old!

Great book for toddlers, it is like iSpy, for younger kids. I love that there is also a learning aspect, it tells you to find animals in specific colors, helps teach up and down, or sizes. It has helped start discussions for my (almost 3 year old) boy. We've spent hours reading this book together and seem to always find something new every time. I highly recommend this book for little learners.

Great book! Love all the color in the pictures/pages. My kids love looking at this book and finding all the things. Not a one-time book. Great for long trips or staying at home.

My three year old and 16 month old both love these spotting books and they have become a part of their bedtime routine. After buying the first one and seeing how much they loved it, we bought the rest for them. They're pretty durable too.I really hope they make more of these!

I can't say enough good things about this series of "Things to spot" books. Usborne are just so clever!I bought the first (there's 3 currently) when my daughter was about 18 months, and the others followed shortly after.Every page has a theme, and they cleverly use cats, dogs, mice etc (as well as people) to illustrate the theme. There is often a mouse on each page, so we play "where's the mouse?". Then as she got older we could talk about which colours were on which animal, or count the cats. My daughter learnt the difference between happy and sad from the illustrations, and started to reason as to why something was sad.I really would recommend this to anyone with a toddler. They are great for learning words, colours, animals, places etc.

Good quality board book, where the children have to find things in the pictures and get to know the names. I purchased them for my granddaughter. .I would have given five stars but I got these books in the 80s for my children and I felt they were slightly better.

I bought this book because we speak two languages at home and with the English prompts you can adapt this book to any language, which in turn leads you on to other conversations. My granddaughter is two and a half and loves it and I have often found her reading to her toys in both languages using this book in particular. I would recommend 😀

These books are great for pre-school age. Also my niece who has learning diffculties, although older, also enjoys them. They engage the children and encourage them to sit down and concentrate.

One of the best book I bought so far
