Questions about this book

What age is First Words for?

Ages 1 to 3. The pages stay calm and simple on purpose: one word, one real thing, your child big and clear.

Can I swap in words we use at home?

Add a teddy, a pet, a favorite food and a favorite toy, and they show up in the book. Tell us what your child calls you, too.

What's Talk Time?

A short prompt on each learning page that tells you what to do: point, say it twice, wait, then copy back what they say.

Can I see it before it's printed?

Yes. We email you a preview of every page. Nothing is printed until you approve it, and if a page isn't right, we fix it.

What's the Digital Edition?

The full personalized book as a high-quality, print-ready PDF. It arrives in your inbox the moment you approve your preview. Print it at home or at any print shop, as many copies as you like. No shipping, so it works worldwide. Prefer it printed for you? Pick the hardcover.

How do I print the Digital Edition?

The PDF has square 8.5 x 8.5 inch pages at 300 dpi, with a little extra picture around the edges so there are no white lines after trimming. A local print shop can make it into a square photo book or a stapled booklet. At home, print single-sided on heavy paper, trim, then staple or clip the pages. How to print your Digital Edition
