Thank you to #Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book. It was very cute, short, and I feel would be engaging and appropriate for ages up to to 4.. As an early childhood teacher, I feel they would like to look at the pictures and try to "read" and sound out the words..

Super cute for the earliest learners. My 22 month old loved it and repeated the words. Great illustrations

I have kids ages 3-9 and I so wish I could have had this book during their first few years of life! The illustrations are perfect for young children and I loved the teaching cues at the beginning of the book! It reminded me of Leslie Patricelli books and how easy the words are to mimic for development. This is definitely worthy of the space on your kids' bookshelf!

This book is perfect for parents and babies. It teaches us as parents how to teach our babies their early words. And it also teaches babies those early words! Such a cute way to teach them!

"Let's go, Puppy!", by Holly Rosensweig, is an adorable board book helping teach early words and sounds to children. It starts off with a guide to help parents/educators/librarians engage the kids throughout the story and during everyday activities to help with speech development. The story is straightforward and filled with charming illustrations to captivate readers. Highly recommend this lovely story for parents and librarians.

Admittedly, the dog picture on the cover is what first drew me. I've become predictable that way. But, I quickly found the concept behind this book intriguing. Although I taught for years, I never dealt with children just learning to create the wonderful and, yes, sometimes annoyingly repetitive sounds we're capable of making, so I was curious as to how teaching this skill is approached. I should note here, too, that this board book is as much for parents as teachers.

The publisher's blurb does an excellent job detailing the book's contents, so I'll simply share my own reactions. First, it offers direction to adults using the book. A "how to", so to speak.The artwork by Emily Rutherford is simple, so as to attract but not distract, if that makes sense, using color and limited backgrounds. We're essentially following a puppy's day, with the various words spoken to it repeated in large print. Heck, even a passing car gets a word in. Two actually, "beep-beep" and I grinned at the soapy rubber ducky on the "wash-wash-wash" page.

The book is short and by focusing on something most babies and toddlers show interest in, a puppy, designed to keep the child's attention. The puppy is adorable, btw. Bottom line, if you have a child at this stage or learning, you won't be disappointed. It's not only colorful and cute, but teaches both the teacher and child.

Thanks #NetGalley and #NinewisePublishing for sharing this teaching insight with me. My Daisy dog gives this one four paws up plus a tail way.

My littles loved this book. It would be perfect for kids just learning to talk. My girls are a little older but they love dogs and love exclamations. They had fun reading this book. The illustrations are so sweet and the pictures are nice and simple to look at. This is perfect for any baby’s collection.

This is a cute book for young readers. The puppy is adorable and my young son enjoyed reading about his day. The story is engaging and repetitive which is helpful for language development.

What a delightful story! Author Holly Rosensweig used the perfect puppy (thanks to Emily Rutherford, illustrator) to introduce beginning vocabulary and sounds that most babies learn first. With the extra information for parents on how to reinforce and expand these beginning sounds and words, this book can be very helpful for new parents. This would be a lovely gift for new baby to receive.

"Let's Go, Puppy!" is an excellent board book that teaches early sounds in a fun and interactive way. Each page is filled with vibrant colors and cute illustrations that capture a child's attention and encourage them to learn.

I highly recommend, "Let's Go, Puppy!" to parents and caregivers looking for a high-quality resource for teaching early words to young children. Its engaging illustrations and carefully chosen vocabulary make it an excellent choice for children in the early stages of language development.

Let's Go, Puppy! by Holly Rosensweig and illustrated by Emily Rutherford is a wonderful new book with a basis in evidence-based speech development. The tips at the beginning and end of the book are wonderful resources for new parents. I can't wait to add this to my standard baby shower book list, alongside classics such as Pat the Bunny and Goodnight Moon. I hope it will be available as a board book.

Definitely get this boardbook for the kids! Because you will not be disappointed, if there’s anything like that when it comes to cute boardbooks that feature cute puppies and heartfelt pleasing illustrations!

Not convinced yet?!

You will be when you see this book in your hands!

We all know how it is going to be when we get a new pup in our homes. And this is accurately that!

Thank you, Ninewise Publishing, for the advance reading copy.

This one's a quick read, but its strength is its simplicity. There's a guide at the front that helps parents/educators/guardians emphasize key concepts and words. The illustrations carry much of the weight of the story, so you could ask kids to describe what they're seeing (and practice making inferences) or explain it for them; either way could be engaging.

Holly Rosensweig's Let's Go, Puppy! is filled with adorable illustrations and simple words for our youngest learners. This would be a great language prompt for my pre-school students and the expressions on the characters' faces are also an excellent conversation starter.
