I find that the early sounds and description on how to promote early communication was helpful at the begin of the book. As a new mum, it was good to know what to expect and look out for.
This is a great book for open interpretation from baby/parent so I can see this being regularly read and the story/conversation changing each time.

Let's Go, Kitty!
by Holly Rosensweig

I received a digital copy of this picture book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I read this once by myself and once with my youngest niece who is 3 and obsessed with kitties.

As an experienced mom of 2 and aunt of many I appreciate the value of the opening informational guide about speech sounds and ideas for expanding on the book.

This makes the book especially good as a gift for new parents or young parents still figuring out how to parent. In my real life job part of what I do is assessing children with developmental delays. Children in the range of 2-2.5 may have few words/language but it’s not always because of an underlying issue sometimes it’s because parents and caregivers have not understood how important it is to talk to and with small children all the time to help them learn and grow. So providing specific examples of how and when and why are valuable.

This is the type of book that while the words on the page are few it’s easy to expand upon with the images and action to have a conversation with a child about what is happening what could happen and why/how.

This would make an excellent baby shower gift.

5/5

This was a cute little book. It is perfect for families with little children, and baby/toddler programs at the library. It's easy for the child to follow along and learn to read the words on their own. Really liked the illustrations.

I absolutely loved this book aimed for babies and pre-verbal toddlers. The illustrations on each page are engaging for the child and give the reader an opportunity to not only demonstrate language, but actions and cause and effect.

I appreciate the time and attention that went into crafting this book and the tips from the author at the beginning were very helpful!

This is such a sweet book! I love the list at the start instructing you how to best utilize the book to teach your baby. The art and the story are very cute and I think this is a great starting point for teaching baby sounds and words

A fun book about a cat that encourages early speech. I loved that there were tips for parents as well.

A great baby book for new parents!

"Let's go Kitty" is a cute little picture book for babies and toddlers in the language acquisition phase. The illustrations are cute and have soft colors. They are also fairly minimal, with just enough elements to be interesting but not overwhelming.

The small amount of text may be a bit intimidating for parents like me, who tend to lack inspiration when reading to their babies. However, there is an "instructions" page at the beginning, which explains how to read interactively to your child in a way that promotes language acquisition. I found it really helpful and the concept actually works really well with less text, which leaves more room for parent-child interactions.

"Let's Go, Kitty!" is a simple book that is written in an intentional way to encourage language skills and first words in babies and toddlers. I love the idea of this book and having some background in childhood development can see how this book would be really beneficial. Babies can benefit from being read all kinds of books, but this one has repetition, age appropriate speech sounds, and familiar objects to promote and develop language skills. Highly recommend and I look forward to getting a copy to read to my toddler!

This is a super cute and simple children's book that is perfect for your littles! It's perfectly paced to identify what is in the pictures and to repeat the words on the page. It's got animals, a firetruck, and bright colors. Highly recommend for early child development and interest in reading.

This is a great beginner book, we have been creating a focus at the library for our very youngest patrons. And really truly look forward to adding it to that collection. The illustrations are perfect and it's simple enough that our 0-2 year olds can get it all on their own

This book is cute and useful. The initial instructions on how to start promoting speech in an infant are quite informative. It'll help parents' navigate the book and know how to go about developing their kid's skills.

As a first time mother who works full time, I feel like I am always at a loss as to what I should be doing with my kids when I get home at night. Guided books like this, with scientific backing, and easy to follow tips for this book and beyond is so much more helpful than an average children’s book! My sister and I both had speech impediments growing up (I couldn’t say my R’s until 5th grade!) and I worry that my kids will carry that experience as well. So anything produced or supported by speech pathology is an auto-buy for me!

Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc of this in exchange for an honest review!

This book was so cute! I loved the illustrations and the story. This one helps kids learn words and I think will be helpful for those early talkers! My son is around that age and I think this would be a great book for him.

I would recommend this book to people looking for something for an early talker!

This book was darling! My littlest one loved this. We have been working on words with him so this was great for helping introduce simple word.s. The illustrations were beautiful too!

This is a cute early reader book! Lots of colorful pictures and sight words to practice with. It doesn’t stand out to me in many ways but it is a sufficient early reader book.

My daughter and I absolutely loved this delightful book. The illustrations are enjoyable and she enjoyed sounding the words out and finding the kitty on the pages. Repetition of words and sounds is emphasized and is helpful for developing a broader vocabulary. The tips provided for parents were very helpful. Highly recommend, overall an incredibly cute read!
