This picture word book, illustrated by Val Biro, has been designed for children who are beginning to learn how to read and write. Over 500 words which children encounter are listed in alphabetical order. Each word is accompanied by a phrase to show usage and by a lively illustration to express meaning. A special picture section at the back on numbers, colours, festivals and fairytale characters will help children with their own writing at school. An extended word list will help them with spelling.
