'Babies need books!' These tow teddy books, of simple charm and enduring quality, are just right for the youngest babe, and will last through toddlerhood. Every page has carefully chosen words, with the story told very clearly though the appealing graphics. In One Counting Birthday Bear (counting one to ten), it is the teddy's birthday, so it would make an ideal gift. Events compare happily with those of any small birthday child, and the numerals and number words, with carefully matched objects, are clear upon each page.

First Words is an interactive book full of endearing moments in the teddy family life, comparable to that of a toddler. Each page has a delightful centre picture following events in the teddy family's day, with six items from this picture bordering the page, each clearly named. Can you find the umbrella? The butterfly? The basket?
