Secondarily, the book can help a child to read. The adult should not hit them over the head with this, but let it happen naturally as they become interested in print. None of this "Let's sound it out" business; wait until they take an interest, and guide them calmly, without that tension and whoop-de-do that so often comes from a parent when a child first start to look at words. We borrowed this one through our local library and the READS system with Overdrive to my Kindle Fire. This is such an awesome way to borrow library books. I hope that they will continue to broaden their availability with other books soon. If these as eBooks did not cost the same as the physical copies I'd buy them by the dozens as they became available. Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting all children's authors to be as brilliant as Dr. Suess or Margaret Wise Brown. I do find many of the books I've read to my baby to be irritating, because they seemed to be written by mediocre writers who think stringing together random words that rhyme in a couplet makes for poetry, giving no other thought to structure, stress, or meter, because, you know, "it's for kids, and what do kids know, right?" But even those irritating little children's books don't attract my hatred the way this little word book has. Richard Scarry wrote many different kinds of books. He delighted in telling funny stories, and even wrote several very clever detective stories.Richard Scarry's Best Little Word Book Ever! (Vocabulary Development Series, LeapFrog LeapPad Level 1)

Something that jarred me was the spelling of axe. I am so used to it being 'axe' that when I read 'ax' it made me question the reliability of the book, until I discovered it was an alternate spelling.
