Marc Brown's beloved, bespectacled Arthur, a storybook favorite among primary graders for more than twenty years, is now a hero to the millions of preschoolers who watch his daily show on PBS television. To reach this younger audience, Marc Brown has pulled out all the stops and created a word book that truly lives up to its name--it's really helpful! In this big, exciting book Marc Brown has pictured and labled more than 1,000 everyday words in environments ranging from the zoo to Mom's office. And, as a bonus not found in any other word book, each page makes learning a playful game by exploring the imagination and reinforcing early-learning concepts in a fun way. Here's a book that grows with the child from toddler to first grade--use it first to help develop a baby's spoken vocabulary and later to teach counting, colors, the alphabet, opposites, shapes, and other basics. When "back to school" rolls around this year, Arthur, his sister D.W., and their friends and family are ready to make it more fun than ever!
