This is really good. The bright colors and the simple sentences, also the adorable whales? So easy for children to follow. The tips for the babble books at the start are amazing too.

As someone who works in the early years, I thought this book provides information in a cute way in which young children themselves could read along to and enjoy. The pictures are fun and I think this book would be a good addition into early years library’s!

With watercolor illustrations that invite caregivers to narrate as they go, and text that uses words that babies use very early (mama, dada, hi, etc) this is an excellent book for new parents to read with Baby over and over. The tips from the speech pathologist are helpful and practical, and they set this book apart from other board books.

Thank you to Ninewise Books and NetGalley for a review copy.

Beautiful illustrations. A very simple book with easy to use guidelines for parents and baby to start using words. The board book format is gorgeous for baby's tactile use, and simple, helpful instructions for parents. A lovely book for a new parent gift!

First of all, the illustrations in this book are absolutely gorgeous. The book itself is great for helping your baby learn how to talk and in that case, I highly recommend it.

This inspiring book will help you turn your baby's babble into actual words! It is the first book in a developmental appropriate series of language development books for infants and babies. This board book will help parents and caregivers support a baby's language development. Luckily the book offers tips from a professional speech language pathologist to help the process along.

The watercolour illustrations are soft and adorable. Babies will love the attention and interaction which will garner their success in word formations. I recommend this book.

Let's Talk, Baby is such an adorable book! The illustrations are lovely, but the best part is the repetition and "baby babble" which is just what is needed to keep your baby (or grandbaby in my case) engaged and help develop their speech. I would buy the whole series!💕

Repetitive with sweet illustrations that grabbed my daughters attention. Absolutely perfect for language development

Was this review helpful?

Adorable illustrations and fun simple words that captured my baby's attention. She enjoyed helping me "pop" the bubbles and participated in reading the book with me. I love how it is repetitive and short - it's the perfect length to keep my little one's attention. This book is a perfect way to introduce sounds and turn babbles into beginning words. Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.

Let’s Talk, Baby is a fantastic tool for language learning with your baby. It is stimulating and an awesome way to get a head-start on speaking with your child. You can never start too early! The earlier they start learning language the more they will retain and better they will speak for the rest of their lives, so I am excited to add this to our collection of baby books. It was engaging, entertaining, and educational, both for baby and for parents!

I loved this sweet little book. We currently have a little one at home learning her words and this little babble book is perfect for engage her and get her pronouncing her new sounds and words. Lovely colourful illustrations and just long enough also to keep a little girl engaged. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy.

This is great! The book has simple words (babbles) accompanied with giant illustrations of whales family. The illustrations are clear, colourful, and cute!

I particularly liked the tips for the parents (from a speech pathologist), e.g. "Gesture along as you talk (wave when saying "hi" or pretend to bring food to your mouth when saying "num num num").

Simple to use, can't wait to practice with my baby.

This would make an excellent gift for all the new mums. I love the illustrations and all the words. Even though this will end up chewed all over, all the sounds from the baby will make it okay.

Was this review helpful?

This is such a great resource for parents who need scaffolding on how to help infants and toddlers develop their first sounds. Each page has a simple watercolor painting of a whale family and the baby whale's actions. The opposite page narrates in simple repetitive words what is happening.

This is perfect for speech-language therapists, parents, grandparents, and any caretaker who wants to help a young child develop language. It is very clearly laid out, and even gives a preface of some of the first sounds infants are able to produce.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who works with babies, speech and language therapy, or in the early intervention realm.

I loved this book and realized just how important it is to have books written by speech language pathologists to help bring the correct movements to a child's mouth.

I cannot wait to see more of what Stephanie Ciatti writes!

This is such a sweet and short book! The book follows a cute whale family with simple baby words like mama, dada, num-num, etc. The illustrations are adorable and highly engaging. This is great if you have a toddler about to utter their first word, and even if you have a baby, they will find the colors and drawing fascinating. Definitely recommended for new parents

The book is designed for baby's early speech, and a very useful tools during pandemic, where parents can spend more time with their children. With big letters, and more illustration than words, this book will encourage children to make more significant babble.

This is a unique picture book for babies, which my daughter and I loved. She is not a baby, but she still loved the baby talk and babbling, and we had a lot of fun reading this book, with many laughs. Babies everywhere will love this bibble babble talk, which will help them with their speech development. I think this is a great way for parents and carers to connect with their babies. I have never seen a book like this before, and I think it is great.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
