Let's Go, Kitty! begins with a section of tips for parents, providing methods to better enjoy and use the book's content with their babies.
I loved the illustrations in this book, I found the drawing style beautiful, cute and with colors that captivate. What caught my attention the most before reading "Let's Go, Kitty" was precisely its cover. This aspect is very important for books of this genre in my opinion.
My only wish for improvement and the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I think the book could be a little longer, with more pages containing new illustrations and situations.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. It is super simple text with easy-to-answer questions for little ones.

Let's Go, Kitty! is a book full of early literacy tools, facts, and resources that can help early readers with their path to reading. The repetitive words on each page help those younger readers associate the illustrations with the word they say, helping with their print awareness and vocabulary. The tools at the beginning of this book help grown ups that are reading this book to younger readers, giving this book a chance to reach it's full potential.

An adorable and educational book for language development in infants and toddlers, "Let's Go, Kitty!" starts with advice for parents how to encourage their young children to make sounds, highlighting how important this development is.
The following pages feature Kitty in different situations, allowing enough to explore and practice with children who sure will love the wonderful illustrations.
My only criticism is that it could have had a few more pages.

I loved the first part of this book where it was a note to parents/ adults. It gave recommendations on speech sounds for babies/kids. The illustrations were great and I really feel like kids would love this book.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author.

This book begins with a short section for adults that notes the importance of sounds and ways to encourage very young children’s speech development. All this is indeed so but I think that little ones will enjoy this title without knowing that it has higher aspirations. The illustrations are adorable and the kitty is just mischievous enough. What a great way to learn without even trying!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Ninewise Publishing for this title. All opinions are my own.

This is a sweet little book focusing on early sounds and language development in young kids. I’m also a speech pathologist so my review may have a different perspective. I do love the repetition in the book and also appreciate that pictures show beginning sounds that can be labeled and talked about such as (Apple, pear, banana). Each page is an opportunity to expand sentence length and talk about structure. I did find some of the words are later developing such as; squeak, drink, play etc. Another critical component of language is the ability to comprehend, retell and make inferences as to what will happen next. This book does have opportunities for that.
I loved the pictures, but I think the book could have been a little longer using more age appropriate sounds in words. I mean kitties are mischievous and so much could have been added to this nice little story.

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.

I love how this book is so simple, yet every word is so intentional. It’s amazing how much learning can happen in just a few pages. Plus, my kids love cats, so it’s hard to go wrong with an adorable cat.

SLP here! I was already a huge fan of "Let's Go Puppy" and am now excited to add "Let's Go Kitty" to the rotation! The story is rich with core vocabulary and the illustrations are perfect for my preschoolers! I know my students will be engaged and will want to read this story again and again! Can't wait to own a copy!!

This is the first time I'm seeing a book in this series. This is amazing! I work closely with early intervention and love the guidance for care givers and the simple text allowing little ones to tell the story. This looks great for little ones from infant to 2 years+ depending on skills.

Written by a speech-language pathologist, this book teaches parents about developing kiddos language skills, while also having fun reading about a cute kitty together. The words are simple and repetitive to help kiddos recognize and imitate sounds, but the sweet cat and mini-adventure are enough to keep parents from losing their minds when their little ones inevitably ask them to read it over and over.

This was such a cute and easy book, amazing for babies learning to speak.
It was very clear what the story was without being too complex and I love how the text was color coordinated with what actions the parent had to take to help their child follow along, understand and learn/use these skills in the future.

This book is great at encouraging young readers to sound things out and see sight words. I thought this book is great for parents to read with their kids. The illustrations were beautiful

Let's Go, Kitty! shares about a kitty's day through beautiful illustrations and simple language that will help as babies learn their first words / sounds. I can easily see young babies and toddlers acting out the words in the book as the book is being read. One bonus perk of this book is the diversity in the 2 characters that are shown. I love that this was written by a Speech-Language Pathologist and contains advice for parents in how to utilize the book in a way that fuels development.

Let's Go, Kitty? would be a great book to gift for parents to be!

Thank you to Net Galley, Ninewise Publishing, and the author for this free e-Arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I would like to preface my review by saying thank you to netgalley for sending me a copy of Let's Go, Kitty! in exchange for my honest review.

I was immediately attracted to this title based off the fact it was written by a Speech Pathologist. I also appreciated the guide at the beginning for parents to help encourage speech in young children. I thought the illustrations were vibrant and it was a quick and simple read for children just starting to learn speech!

Thank you netgalley and ninewise for the gifted arc!

This is such a great first words book! I love the instructions at the beginning for parents. I don’t always know the best way to teach new words to my daughter, so it’s really helpful to have it written out! The illustrations are so adorable too.
