Description
A wonderful addition to a little one's bookshelf, Say Hello is the second book in the Say series.
This fun, bold, read-aloud book has been designed to captivate children from a young age. We know from research that the more senses you engage while reading to bubs, the better their language and comprehension skills develop. That's why Say Hello can be read and sung, and has simple, high-contrast illustrations featuring many recognisable words. Plus, it explores things babies enjoy doing - from splashing water to kicking balls, shaking a rattle to making a muddy mess - this is an interactive book that gives babies a lot of chances to participate.
Informed by 15 years of perinatal and infant health work experience, and from an award-winning author-illustrator team, Say Hello is now available in a new, small-format board book for babies to love.
