First 100 Words Lift-the-Flap: Over 35 Fun Flaps to Lift and Learn Board book – Lift the flap, September 17, 2013

Great book for toddlers to learn simple basic concepts and vocabulary!

My 16 month old forces us to read this about 70 times a day. We have many books but she chooses this one and the others from this series before any other books. It has lift up flaps and she likes having us point out things and name them. Educational, I love it.

Helps child to be involved and engaged when reading. My daughter just loves opening the flaps on each page. Bright and colorful pictures are great too!

My 15 m.o. son has had the smaller board book version of First 100 Words, First 100 Animals, and First Numbers & Shapes for months now. He loves board books and he really seems to enjoy those books in particular so when I saw the Lift-the-Flap version I knew I had to buy it. Whenever I ask him to bring me a book to read to him, he chooses these books pretty frequently. He also spends a fair amount of time going through them while pointing at each picture and speaking his toddler language to himself. The lift flaps on this book adds another aspect to keep his interest in the book a little longer. These books have held up fairly well to the abuse my toddler has put them through, the pages have been chewed on, pulled on, bent, books have been thrown, yet none are falling apart. I was a little worried about him tearing the flaps (as he's done with other books) but so far they seem to be holding up. I will continue to purchase these.

We had a similar book to this one when my oldest was a baby, he was in love with the book. He would spend hours just messing with it. This is not that book. 35 flaps sounds like a lot but it’s not as many as I expected. We had one before by the same publisher that must have had more like 50-75 flaps, this isn’t the book we were looking for. The book is ok but I wish there was more to it.

Mi bebé tiene la versión pequeña de esta serie de “first 100…” y ahora adquirimos esta con solapas, le gustó mucho.

My son got the first version when he was a bit young -around 1-2 years old, and he tore off almost every flap - but still loved reading and counting as he approached 3, so I got him another (what I thought was the same book) for his birthday. I was so pleasantly surprised by the improvements! The new version has a radically different flap design that is far superior to the last one we bought a couple of years ago; Each page with flaps actually has two pieces of paper board laid on top of each other and the top one is cut out where the openings are but the "hinges are left completely attached to the upper sheet. This makes for much stronger flaps and many more hours of exploring before they rip. Even now after he is a solid 3-year-old he goes back to his "Big Book" as a night time reading choice on a regular basis and continues to find new things in it. Superb buy.

I’ve used many books by this particular publisher. I use them for my 18-month-old granddaughter, as well as using them in speech therapy for other children. I liked this book. However, I would’ve enjoyed a few more flaps. Kids love to open the flaps. It’s almost double the use of the book.
