See the baby? What's baby's name? Say . . . BABY. How can we help our smallest readers go from baby babble to pronouncing everyday words? The Baby Babble Series will gently encourage babies and toddlers to use their first words and sounds as building blocks for new vocabulary. The first book in this series introduces the "B" sound with words like book, blanket, and bye bye. Filled with mirrors, textured material, and flaps, this interactive board book invites babies to touch and feel each new word, providing kinesthetic, visual, and auditory sensory experiences that will develop their language skills and delight their hands, eyes, and ears with every turn of the page.

A language development book for babies that helps them turn their babbles into words. Written by a speech pathologist.

When baby begins to babble a noise that sounds like 'c/k' it's time to teach them the words that match the sound, this primer will help you along the way!

This is the second edition of the practical, easy-to-read, research-based guidebook that shows professionals and parents how to talk to and play with young children, ages 0-6, in ways that directly support their emerging language skills.

Kids know: Funny noises are fun to make. Better yet, babies can make them NOW - even before they can talk! The noises here are also practice for speaking later. The pictures of Things are practice for understanding words, names, and letters. The pictures of the Sounds (that is, the letters) are practice for reading later. Each page has three little poem-songs to sing with the little one. There's no wrong way to make these sounds.
