A book that might make you think you've learnt a thousand things, before showing us an actual spread containing, apparently, a thousand different things. Here are workers, landscape elements, parts of our face and body, our numbers, seasons and relatives – all arrayed in themed pages that help us, with clear labelling, to really boost or ensure our early vocab. The visuals are a sort of quietly cartoonish kind, with great clarity, to make it easier to ascertain things. Oh, and there is also a mouse character to keep on spotting as we turn the pages, so we may well be returning to this just for the fun, as opposed to the lesson. With nothing to mark it down for, it's well worth the consideration.

A visually stunning presentation of first words for early readers in a bold illustrations reminiscent of wooden toys, the book One Thousand Things is the perfect first encyclopaedia. The book explores the world as seen from the POV of a 1-4 year old with their first batch of words to see and say. The areas the author has explored are colours, numbers, shapes, opposites, different times of the day, human body, nature, world, things inside and outside of your house.
The book is interactive and engaging, and is visually appealing.

This is a lovely book and would make a beautiful Christmas present! Each page has a different spread of things to learn about - colours, the body, the world, space, foods - the content is briliant. The pictures are simple but beautiful and each double page has so much to took at and explore. The colours are bright and bold and perfect for young children to look at.

A really timeless book that can be enjoyed over and over by children on their own or with an adult.

This is a great book for young children - infants to young toddlers. The illustrations are beautiful and calming. I would enjoy these pages as art.

This book has adorable graphics, that are easy to understand and simple in design. I think it'll be a great place for kids to learn how to draw basic shapes too. I like how it's structured - starting with the basics and things closest to the child and expanding as the book progresses. It shows useful words and teaches about emotions and behavior in a simple and clear way.
The pages aren't overwhelming and focus on one topic.

Cute book that covers basic vocabulary for young children. Each 2-page spread contains animated pictures with labels around a theme (What animals are on a farm? cow, pig, etc.). There is a cute mouse that kids can search for on each page. Pages are not overcrowded.
A few words are British English vocabulary, and the book is produced by a British publisher. Not an issue, but some American English speakers may want to be aware.

This honest review was given in exchange for a Netgalley ebook copy.

A super quick read for me! What a stunning book for little ones. My toddler will absolutely LOVE this! I am definitely going to purchase a hard copy for him. He is obsessed with basically everything in here - numbers, letters, shapes, animals, dinosaurs, facial features, activities outside. We’ll have a whale of a time reading it together.

The artwork is very visually appealing too. Bright and engaging and perfect for little minds and eyes.
