Toddler-PreS–Children learning new words is a huge developmental milestone. This board book aims to help caregivers understand how to encourage sounds and words with their little ones. “When the baby’s sleeping, my mouth says shhhh!” In a note at the end, the author, a speech-language pathologist, explains that pairing facial expressions with a sound of exclamation helps children understand communication better. Caregivers will appreciate and learn from the easy-to-understand information.
VERDICT A great purchase for public libraries, offering palatable science on nurturing.
