Meet the Author

Roger Priddy left school at 16 with just one qualification—in art. He went to Berkshire College of Art and Design and trained as an illustrator.  His first job in children’s books was working with the publisher Peter Usborne, at Usborne Publishing, and then he worked with Peter Kindersley at Dorling Kindersley, where he spent 16 years. Priddy became Creative Director of DK’s Children’s Division and was Managing Director of the children’s mass market publisher Funfax when it was acquired by DK.

 

In 2000, he created Priddy Books with John Sargent at St Martin’s Press to create innovative and imaginative titles for children, from first books for babies through early reference titles for older children. Since then, over 30 million copies of Roger's 200 plus books have sold worldwide, with five of his books—My Big Animal, My Big Truck, Happy Baby Words, Happy Baby Colors and Puppy and Friends—each selling over one million copies. He is also the author of Big Board First 100 Words; Big Board Books Colors, ABC, Numbers; and Bright Baby Noisy Monsters. His creativity has been recognized with numerous industry awards. Priddy lives in London with his wife Zena and their four children.

    fun and colorful

    my 15 month old absolutely loves this book and he has even figured out how to scroll through the pages on his own. This is a great book because there aren't too many things on a page to leave him feeling over whelmed!! Definitely would recommend this book to anyone!

    Awesome

    I purchased this book for my 14 month old son. He was excited to play with my nook. He was very attentive and patient. He may have learned a few new words. I am hoping to broden his vocabulary.

    Great for my 2 year old!

    The first page is a picture of a girl and a boy and my son was instantly into it. He was calling them babys pointing at each one, and then figured out how to swipe his finger across to turn the page and he said "WHOA" He knows pretty much all of the words in the book except Boat Airplane Leaf, and Flower. I pointed and told him what was a boat first, after a few more times of him turning the pages by him self he came back to the boat and tried to pronounce boat. I think he really enjoys these pictures and its fun for me to ask him where is the teddy bear and him to look for it and find it

    should be a read to me book

    There are photos of itemsthat would not be associated with older children such as 'sippy cup' and 'potty' but a younger child needs the book to speak the word as the image is touched in order to teach the word.

    Granddaughter

    My 14 month old granddaughter loved the book - she actually loves all books. But a single picture on each page was perfect for her. When it showed a sippy cup (with the word CUP below), she actually said 'agua', one of the few words she knows, and learned from her Nanny. Too many pictures at that age can be confusing, but this book was perfect for her age.

    Can't believe how much my baby loves this!

    This is the second book I've purchased of this series. Not sure what it is about these books-- the solid bright colors, the simple sound of each word being read one at a time, or the pcitures themselves-- but this was the first book my baby whined to be read again (at about 6 months). He's ten months old now, and still gives the book his full, undivided attention.

    Great Book

    My 4 month old grandson really loves the simple , but colorful , pictures on every page. The cardboard pages are durable for little fingers to handle. And the subjects are something he will be able to relate to.

    First Words

    Colorful illustrations with simple words for beginner board books. Common items help associate words with pictures.

    My 10 Month Old Daughter Loves It!

    This is one of my daughter's favorite books. She loves looking at the pictures as I read the words to her. I'm going to buy the rest in the series. I think it's a great way for her to learn words with the pictures. The pictures are big and bright and it's great quality. It's very easy to read too...especially if your child likes to turn the pages really fast...lol.
