First 100 Words Roger Priddy Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "We got the board book version which is great -- sturdy to stand up to toddler abuse, and compact for a diaper bag."
• "The book itself is durable and is holding up nicely."
• "These books are very sturdy. My toddler managed to rip apart most of his other board books but this one still looks almost new."
• "It is sturdy and has held up through throwing, pulling, the diaper bag, and baby drool."
• "The book's sturdy construction makes it perfect for little hands to explore without worrying about tears or damage."
• "The book is sturdy with sharp images in bright colors, and it's the perfect size for little hands!"
• "It is durable."

Cons:

• "It's a board book but the pictures were ripped right off of the pages and the cover came off too easily my baby boy tore this apart too quickly."
• "We have only had it for a few weeks and my daughter reads it everyday so it has begun to tear."
• "probably will be buying another one because these books are easy to rip."
• "Bought this for my 22 month old and in less than 3 weeks, the pages were detached from the spine...."
• "The quality of the book cover is TERRIBLE! My 13 month old already destroyed it."
• "As you can see in the pictures, three out of four of the cover corners were not finished properly."
• "I give this book to the kids in my young toddler room every year for Christmas. This year...the bindings has issues, the cover is poorly made and the seams are pulling up."

Design & Educational Value

Pros:

• "This Book is an excellent padded board book for young children."
• "Simple and straightforward; the book is divided into sections featuring common objects."
• "The bright, bold colors are attractive to babies to help keep their attention."
• "Additionally, as parents, we really like that this book uses real photos, labels each item, and groups the items based on their function."
• "The large, realistic, and cute illustrations stand out against the colorful backgrounds."
• "What I love about this book is the fact that the pictures are REALISTIC."
• "The colorful and engaging illustrations capture children's attention and help them learn new words in a fun and interactive way."

Cons:

• "Maybe because it doesn't engage him enough."
• "Not a fan of the colors - the objects are placed on color background making it hard to see the image. Yellow duck is on a yellow background, etc."
• "Some of the pictures seem outdated and a few words in my opinion, are not a child's first 100 (i.e., slippers and Guinea pig)."
• "The book was super small and with first words I was expecting it to have max 2 words on one page."
• "There are a few weird words that aren't super applicable like there is a picture of water colors and it says 'colors' and there is a picture of clippers which I probably wouldn't count as one of a babies first 100 words."
• "A lot of images are odd and not what you typically find in kids books."
• "Some words and pictures seem a little dated or aren't really words I would have for his first 100 words."

Size & Portability

Pros:

• "It is well made and very colorful."
• "The size makes for great portability to throw in a diaper bag for outings."
• "It's small enough in size that he can comfortably hold this book in his own two hands."
• "It was smaller than I expected, but that's actually perfect because she can hold it and carry it around more easily."
• "The book itself is small and of perfect size."
• "Even though I thought this book was a lot bigger I love the fact that it is a nice size for a toddler."
• "It is a small book, but very good for children to hold."

Cons:

• "This book is really tiny, and it's got a lot of words that would be confusing for toddlers, not really 100 first words."
• "i didn't like how small the book was and how they compacted many picture per page."
• "It's just not easy for a baby to see the one thing you're pointing at and saying what it is."
• "I thought this would be MUCH bigger like the version we used to have. This thing is really small."
• "Was very surprised to see how small this board book is, it’s much smaller than a normal book size so something to be aware of if you’re expecting an average book, this is not."
• "The size of this book is really small. It's a little smaller than my hand."
• "I was a little disappointed that it’s not the large hardcover book I like; it’s the smaller (in size) version."
