National Geographic Kids Look & Learn: Same and Different

This 'Little Kids Look & Learn' from NatGeo is a small board book, about 6 x 6 inches. It's a good size for my 2 yo grandson and it's built durable too, which is also good for my grandson (necessary in fact).In addition to the books covers there are 10 thick (board) pages to turn and all have photos that are bright and colorful. The page photos are of items and animals a toddler is most likely familiar with and the child is challenged to make choices about what item would belong in which group and what about them is similar or different. There is also a can you spot the difference.My grandson loves books, as does his 5 yo sister, but she is much too old for this. He enjoys turning the pages, though, and pointing to everything he recognizes. I'd recommend this book for up to a 3 yo.

This is a great little book. I trusted the National Geographic brand and was not disappointed. The golden retrievers on the cover hooked me as we have 2, and our grandsons are in love with them. I bought the book for my 15 month old grandson to "grow into." He likes to look at the picture and recognize the animal and point to them. My 4 year old grandson likes the book also, although it isn't much of a challenge for him. I've also used the book with developmentally challenged 2nd graders and they love it!! There are several different activities for kids to do on each page, so it doesn't get boring. I like "counting" books, but you can only count animals for so long:). This book asks children to look at different aspects of the animals on each page, and can be used in different ways. I've gone through the entire book with a reader, asking the same question (i.e., which animal is bigger?) on each page, and I've also used the book, staying on the same page and asking all the different questions.This book is lots of ineractive fun for little ones and makes grandmothers happy, as they watch the kids discover new things! I highly recommend it.

Beautiful photography (what else would one expect from Nat. Geo). My nephew enjoys it - two or more thumbs up from recipient and parents.

National geographic books for kids are the best books to teach kids about all the important concepts. It's great for homeschooler, preschool age.

This book is filled with quizzes for kids to distinguish same from different. My son is 19 months and too young for it. But he loves the pictures. I expect him to grow with the book and highly recommend it. One thing I should mention is that the book I got was used. It was described by the seller as good. But upon seeing it, I was disappointed. There are permanent pen-marks on many of the answers to the quizzes, which compromises the educational value. I contacted the seller, owlsbook, about it. They were quick in apologizing for the problem and giving me a full refund. I am very satisfied with their service. However, I still think that it is better not to buy this book used to avoid the kind of problems I encountered.

Loved this book. I specifically bought each of them to donate to our church nursery. I learned there was one little girl in the nursery who didn't seem to be able to identify animals, etc. and I thought it would be a good learning tool for her.

A gift for my veterinarian's 2 daughters. Cute cute cute.

This book is a prime example why you shouldn't purchase books online. I put "dog books for toddlers" into the search engine and this book made the list. The description talked about showing different sizes of animals, so I chose this book for my dog loving Baby. Much to my surprise, when I opened the book I realized there were no dogs in the book. It's mostly socks and markers/crayons. Waste of money for me as my baby loves dogs and the cover of this book is the only thing he is interested in.
