Designed by quilter and author Wendy Chow, it covers categories like animals, clothing, food and drinks, outdoors and nature, transportation, and everyday things, giving little ones a wide range of words to learn. It is the second book in a crafty first-words series from Blue Star Press, following a crochet-themed edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book has a sturdy, padded cover and a compact 5 x 6 inch size that fits easily in small hands. At 22 pages, it holds up to repeated handling and chewing, which parents and quilters alike have noted makes it a durable, giftable keepsake, often paired with a handmade baby quilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the pictures are photographs of quilted fabric blocks rather than a textured or touch-and-feel book, some shoppers have been surprised to find the pages are not actually tactile quilting, just vivid images of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrightly colored photos of handmade quilt blocks illustrate each word\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact size sized for small hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy padded cover that won't dissolve when chewed on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoard book format, 22 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWords organized into categories: animals, clothing, food\/drinks, outdoors and nature, transportation, things\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecond book in the crafty first-words series from Blue Star Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrustScore\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrustScore is Birch's proprietary rating, from 0 to 100, built from 50+ signals that reflect what actually matters to parents — safety, materials, recalls, certifications and quality.
