This is an excellent book. The explanation of the reasons for writing it to help children who have speech delay is interesting and helpful. The words are beautifully rhythmical and the pictures attractive and detailed for both reader and child. I was delighted to be alerted to it for my grandson, who has speech delay. The book and the tips and hints in it have been encouraging and supportive to his parents and he is doing very well. A joy to see. Many thanks. I will look out for the second book in the series.
