This is a beautiful and cute picture book for the very youngest little ones who are just learning to articulate the sounds they make. Loved the pictures and their combination of simple, yet catchy sounds and words that go perfectly well with the pictures. The drawings are simple enough for the little ones to be interested in those and also cute.

I highly recommend this book for teaching young toddlers sounds and words. The toddlers will like the cute illustrations of puppies and parents that go along with the words they are learning.

The authors included a page at the beginning of the book that explains to toddler caregivers how to encourage children to talk using this book - repeat, point, gesture, converse and progress. The book takes the puppy thru activities that the child will be able to relate to in their daily life.

This book is great for interacting with your toddler while you are teaching them their first few words. The book is simple and sweet with great illustrations. I would recommend this book for baby gifts in the future.

This is a great resource for early literacy, and the tips are helpful for those reading the book at home. I thought the illustrations were sweet, the text was nice to read, and the repetition was great!

This was a cute book. I loved the illustrations and the story that was told in just a few words. That being said, I do wish that they were more words for the parent to read in addition to the early reader words. I tend to pick books that have a longer story and then repeat the words to my children, but perhaps that is just personal preference. Overall, I would still buy this book as a gift for others as it's cute and it's a fun read for younger children.

Let's Go, Puppy! by Holly Rosensweig is an adorable book to encourage language development and is a great book for a child's first words! It is simple and uses common early sounds. Perhaps what I love the most, is the prompt at the beginning of the book for the reader to help engage the child. I love how the author gives tips on repeating words, pointing to basic objects, gesturing, describing what is happening, and adding to the story text once the baby has started to use words and is expanding into phrases.

Overall, this is a book I would highly recommend to parents, or as a gift for a new baby! I know this would have been helpful for me when my children were younger!

5 STARS!

Thank you the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for an advanced digital copy in exchange for an honest review!

Let's Go, Puppy! is an excellent resource for early speech development. This book is intended to create connections of introductory speech patterns to visual cues. It provides clear instructions for the caregiver to follow and assist the child to speak.

This is one of the best books I have seen for encouraging early sounds in young children. There is so much here in so few words. First of all, for parents reading to young children, there are a couple of pages of suggestions on reading and the sounds targeted. Second of all, the story lends itself to simplicity in the wording as it should be for teaching toddlers. Third, the illustrations are perfect with large outstanding images of what one is focused on - large paw prints and others to get the attention of young toddlers. I highly recommend this book to parents, speech/language pathologists, and pre-k teachers.

This book is absolutely adorable with the cutest illustrations and a great introduction. This book uses baby friendly words that can be implemented in a Childs daily life. I think this is a great addition to any Childs library and for parents to find new ways to encourage new words from their babies.

This is an adorable book for toddlers and even babies. Reading to babies and toddlers helped them so much and especially books like this that are educational and fun. My toddler loves it!!

My youngest is almost a year old, so talking soon - this is a book I would absolutely purchase for him!

There isn’t much story, which is okay because that’s not the point, but the illustrations are adorable! My only gripe is that “mama” and “dada” weren’t worked in somehow.

This is a delightful book for a baby's first introduction to early sounds and words. The book includes colorful and bright pictures that follow the day-to-day activities of a puppy.

The book is designed to encourage interaction with the child, as the words and sounds can be repeated, pointed to, acted out, described, and expanded on. This can be a fun and engaging way to help babies develop their language skills.

Overall, it seems that "Let's Go Puppy" could be a great addition to a child's library, providing both entertainment and educational value.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC! The repeating text works well throughout this book.
I love the advice it gives for adults on how to incorporate language from the book into everyday life. As a special education teacher, I love this for caregivers. I also love the amount of core vocabulary there is throughout this book. This is a great read for young readers. The pictures are not overwhelming and not too simple.

My son has a speech delay and I had to check this out after reading the description. I think rbis will be a great tool for him and other kids who have a speech delay or are learning to speak. This is a book I’d definitely want a physical copy of to read frequently with my son. I also love that it’s about a puppy because he and other kids really love animals!
