This is a good book to have and go over around the first two weeks of K. You can get an idea of the words that the children know. Most should know and recognize Mom and Dad but there are a few words that they will not know. You can kinda base what they know from this book. (

This book is a catalog of what babies do and need. It goes over breakfast, lunch, gardens, accidents, and anything else a baby might be into. There are different toys, carriages, and so on, that all categorize babies. (

Love this book, my 2 year son can identify with everyday objects and events involving our newborn baby and with himself. (
