The approach of Baby’s First Latin is similar to that of Roger Priddy’s classic First 100 Words. It offers a no-frills presentation of selected Latin vocabulary words and associated images. Most of the 26 pages of Weaver’s book feature a single Latin word (rana (frog), piscis (fish), flos (flower), etc.) and a corresponding illustration. Weaver is obviously not a professional artist, and some of the selected words (e.g., corbis) are surprising, given the infrequency of their usage. Nevertheless, the illustrations are colorful and appealing, and this book will help adults introduce a very young child to the Latin language. – Ryan Sellers
