Our Review

This sturdy board book introduces early vocabulary through the whimsical world of Roald Dahl, featuring big, bold illustrations of beloved characters like Matilda and the BFG. Young readers can lift flaps to discover both everyday words and some of Dahl's own invented "gobblefunk" terms, making first word discovery an interactive adventure. The bright, colorful pages are perfectly sized for small hands, turning a simple concept book into an engaging, tactile experience. It’s a splendid introduction to foundational language that feels more like play than learning.

What sets this first words book apart is its seamless integration of Dahl's unique lexicon, offering chiddlers a delightful mix of the familiar and the fantastical. The inclusion of characters from classic stories provides an immediate connection for parents who grew up with these tales, creating a shared reading experience. This book will most appeal to families seeking a literacy tool that celebrates creativity and wordplay from the very start. It’s a gloriumptious way to build vocabulary while planting early seeds for a lifelong love of reading.
