Big Pictures, Simple Words & Happy Learning!
Is your little one starting to point at everyday objects, copy sounds and discover exciting new words?
My First Words: For Ages 1 to 3 by O.B Joel is a bright and colourful first words book for toddlers designed to make early learning simple, engaging and fun.
Created especially for babies, 1-year-olds, 2-year-olds and 3-year-olds, this colourful toddler picture book introduces familiar everyday words through clear, child-friendly illustrations that little learners can look at, point to, recognise and name.
Whether your toddler is just beginning to talk or already adding new words to their vocabulary, My First Words makes learning together an enjoyable part of everyday family time.
Is Your Toddler Ready to Start Learning New Words?
Finding the right educational book for a 1, 2 or 3 year old isn't always easy.
Some children's books have pages that are too busy. Others introduce too much information at once, making it harder for very young children to stay interested.
And when you're trying to encourage your toddler to talk, you want something that makes learning feel like play—not a lesson.
That's exactly what My First Words was created to do.
With colourful illustrations, familiar objects and simple words, parents can turn just a few minutes of reading into opportunities for talking, pointing, recognising, repeating and bonding.
What Will Your Little Learner Discover?
Inside, children can explore familiar words from their everyday world, including:
- Family & Home
- Toys & Playtime
- Pets & Animals
- Farm Animals
- Wild Animals
- Birds & Bugs
- Fruit & Food
- Vegetables
- Clothes
- Parts of the Body
- Nature & Weather
- Cars, Trains & Transport
- Colours & Shapes
- Early Numbers
- Feelings & Opposites
- And lots more everyday first words!
More Than Just a Picture Book
My First Words provides lots of opportunities for parents and caregivers to support early learning through conversation and repetition.
Reading and exploring the pictures together can encourage:
✓ Vocabulary Building
Introduce your toddler to useful everyday words and help them connect names with familiar objects.
✓ Early Speech & Language Practice
Say each word aloud and encourage your little learner to listen, copy and repeat when they're ready.
✓ Picture & Object Recognition
Bright, easy-to-recognise illustrations encourage toddlers to identify familiar animals, foods, toys, vehicles and other objects.
✓ Speaking & Listening Skills
Turn each page into a conversation by asking simple questions such as, “Where's the dog?”, “Can you find the apple?” or “What colour is the car?”
✓ Parent-Child Bonding
Put the screens away and enjoy valuable one-to-one learning and reading time together.
✓ Confidence & Curiosity
Every picture recognised and every new word attempted gives your little learner another opportunity to explore and learn.
Made for Little Hands & Curious Minds
Toddlers learn through seeing, hearing, repeating and interacting.
Instead of simply reading from beginning to end, use My First Words as an interactive learning activity.
Point to the pictures. Name the objects. Ask your child to find something. Make funny animal sounds. Talk about colours. Count things together. Encourage them to repeat words—and celebrate their attempts!
Your child doesn't need to know every word straight away. The book can be revisited again and again as their vocabulary grows.
