Baby's First Kind Words by Hsinping Pan is an illustrated book filled with 19 different kind words. The book includes words such as please, thanks, help, smile, share, and love. Each page has one word written in large letters across the page with a corresponding image. The illustrations are pretty simple, but they represent the words well. One of my favorite things about this book is that "Hi," and "Bye-Bye!" have the Spanish, Swahili, and Mandarin words for them. This makes the book a great introduction to different languages for a baby.

So, would I buy Baby's First Kind Words for my family? Yes and no. Although I think this is a great book for babies, my son is 15 months old right now. I think this book is a little too old for him because he enjoys reading stories, where this book just has one word per page. However, when I have another baby, I would consider buying this book for them because I think it's a great book to have, and I know it would be well-loved for at least two years, if not longer. Essentially, I think this is a great book to buy for a baby who is 8 months or younger because it would be used for quite some time. However, if a child is any older, this probably would not be read as much as other books they have because it isn't an actual story. Although, the book does start with "Welcome," and "Hi," and end with "Bye-Bye!" Anyways, Baby's First Kind Words would be a great addition to any baby shower gift.

I received this book for free via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Illustrations are bright and colourful. Each page has a kind word. The first and last pages has hi and bye written in three more languages.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the eARC.

I was able to read Baby's first kind words by Hsinping Pan for free from Netgalley for providing me with an advanced ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Being a first time mom this book was a great read with baby. The illustration were bright and helps babies focus their eyes on the pages. The words are exactly what babies say.  The best part was the first and last pages where the words Hi and Bye are written in three more languages: English, Spanish, Swahili and Mandarin.

Sweet, simple book with colorful illustrations perfect to share with the youngest of readers! A mixture of words are included that are useful in everyday interactions—give, play, sorry—that are easy to gloss over in normal interactions.
