CURATEIQ

TrustScore breakdown

86 /100

We take what's most important for a product to determine the TrustScore. Here's our research:

Age Grading & Choking Safety 90

The padded board cover is specifically built to be sturdy and resist coming apart in a child's mouth, addressing choking risk by design. Target lists the book as suitable for ages 0-3, though the book's own page gives only general 'infant or toddler' wording rather than a matching numeric range.

Physical Construction Safety 84

The padded board cover is sturdy and resistant to coming apart in a child's mouth, but no ink safety claim, lamination detail, or any test method or result backs this up. One review reports a torn page.

Age & Format Fit 87

This book is marketed as a board book for infants and toddlers learning first words, but the specific 0-4 month newborn high-contrast claim quoted in our records actually belongs to a different contrast-book product, not this title.

Content & Engagement Value 84

The book covers first words across named categories like animals, toys and food, and reviewers confirm their children enjoy it repeatedly, though one review flags the embroidered-image description as actually illustrated rather than photographed textile.

Recall History 95

We queried the complete CPSC recall database (10,039 records, 1973–2026) and found no record naming this brand. A control search confirms the registry covers relevant categories like toys and strollers, so the clean result reflects a clean history rather than a gap in the search.

Certification Credibility 77

No certification, safety standard, or third-party testing claim is published for this book anywhere we could find, and nothing adjacent gestures at one either.

Transparency & Support 84

The brand offers to help with any issues but publishes no concrete warranty terms, no materials disclosure beyond 'padded board,' and no country of manufacture for this book.

Customer Stories

Sentiment Summary

Customers describe the photography and crocheted pictures as cute, colorful, and well done, making it a popular gift choice.

Several reviewers describe the book as sturdy and high quality for little ones.
One reviewer found their toddler less interested in this book compared to the author's other crochet pattern books.
One customer mentioned the cover arrived dirty.

This book is so cute!!! I purchased it for a friend who is having a baby this spring. She loved it! The pictures are so fun and the quality is great!

My toddler found my crochet books by Lauren Espy and would spend time flipping through the pages and pointing at fruits and vegetables with me. I thought he would love First Words with Cute Crochet Friends, but he wasn't as interested in it as her actual crochet books. I, personally, love the simplicity of First Words - the layout isn't overwhelming, colors aren't bright and gaudy, the crochet projects are beautifully constructed, and the design of the entire book is just clean.Though my toddler didn't find this book as entertaining as I thought he would, I still highly recommend it -- especially, as a baby shower gift for a boy or girl.

If you can crochet I greatly recommend getting one of Lauren’s Animal Amigurumi Adventure books as well. You can make an animal from one of those books to match these animals and gift them together! The photos of her critters were done very well and it’s a nice sturdy book for little ones.
