First words

  1. 1

    Color

    Hand the page over and let the child color. One object, thick outlines, nothing else on the sheet to get lost in.

  2. 2

    Say

    Name what is on the page while they work. Cat. A cat says meow. Where are the cat's ears? Nothing to prepare, you already know the words.

  3. 3

    Notice the word

    The word is printed under the picture in hollow letters, so it can be colored too. Point at it, read it out, move on. No drills, no testing.

The Spanish editions

Three coloring books, 111 pictures and 111 Spanish words in each, one on every page.

Questions Parents Ask

Is this a bilingual coloring book?

No. Each book is published in one language. The Spanish edition prints Gato, the English edition prints Cat, using the same drawings.

We speak English at home. Can we choose the Spanish edition?

Yes. The picture tells you what the object is, and the word underneath is its Spanish name. You do not need to read Spanish to use it.

Which variety of Spanish does the book use?

Spanish varies from country to country, and some everyday objects have more than one perfectly correct name. Our books use simple, familiar words and keep the chosen vocabulary consistent throughout each edition.
