Mom's Choice Award Winner!  A playful picture book written by a speech-language pathologist helps enhance early language development in babies and toddlers. Captivating a baby or toddler’s attention to enhance speech development takes more than just a good story. To be successful in this feat, a book must incorporate the proven specialized methods practiced by professionals. Let’s Go, Puppy! Encourages Early Words is a picture book for babies and toddlers aged six through eighteen months, expertly written by Holly Rosensweig, a speech-language pathologist, focusing on stimulating language through imitation, repetition, and play. Readers follow an adorable puppy throughout his busy day, from sunup until sundown. From waking up for mealtime— “Eat, eat, eat” — to getting dirty in the yard— “No, no, no!” — this sweet puppy’s shenanigans provide fun opportunities to introduce early speech sounds and encourage an eagerness for babies to replicate them. Let’s Go, Puppy! models how repetition is important to language mastery, how movement and acting out words help amplify language, and how social gestures and pointing help build communication. Families and educators of babies and toddlers who share these critical learning skills will help accelerate and enhance the child’s ability to recognize sounds, strengthen their familiarity with repeating words, enrich their basic vocabulary, and build their confidence through praise.
