Description:

From the Award winning author of Let’s Go, Puppy!

Come and play with Kitty!

From spilling a glass of milk — “Wet, wet, wet” — to chasing a ball of yarn — “Bounce, bounce, bounce” — to getting stuck in a tree — “Help, help, help!” Kitty’s mischief provides fun opportunities to introduce early speech sounds, words, and actions.

Written by a speech-language pathologist, this playful, interactive story helps enhance early communication development in babies and toddlers. Let’s Go, Kitty! promotes babies’ ability to recognize and imitate sounds, strengthens familiarity through the repetition of words, enriches basic vocabulary, and builds confidence through praise.

Tips for caregivers as well as a list of the earliest-developing speech sounds are included. 

My Thoughts:

This is a perfect toddler book for language development. Kids will like the kitty and want to read it again and again. As an educator, I love that it includes tips for parents as well. Language development is so important and often missed in this era where our primary conversationis often online.
