What an amazing book for engaging in learning with your child! I have been using this with my almost 2.5 year old and every time we use it the level of interaction increases and his speech has already improved dramatically in terms of using longer sentences and also major improvements in verbalising what he sees. Everyone who sees the book is impressed and his attention span has been growing with the book. He enjoys using the book with family members too and showing what he has learned.

What a book!
I love how this busy book flows so beautifully from the Talk with Me busy book and engages both of the boys (5 and 3). Mr 5 has even been supporting Mr 3 with sounding new words as they complete the activities together. The activities are so fun and engaging for the children, capturing their attention for amazing periods of time. The versatility of how the book can be used has definitely upped the level of fun in our learning.

I had no doubt that we wouldn’t love this book, I especially loved the imagery used in this one. I found it to be very engaging for both my 2 & 3 year old.
I love the easy step by step instructions, but also the way activities can be adapted and changed along the way to make things more engaging as the children become more skilled.

This book has been an excellent way to increase my daughter’s speech and language abilities whilst we’re awaiting speech therapy. She’s improved so much since starting the activities in this book.

Very recently bought this along with another book. We’ve had a lot of trouble getting our son to engage and stay interested, and wow, did this blow us away! He loved it, and wanted to do more! Will be ordering other books very soon.

Our first busy book and it’s got quite the work out! Love the images and simple prompts which have really helped me engage and support my son with his speech. The book is so great and honestly I even consider it an open ended toy as it leads to so many games and funny conventions! The perfect book to start our Busy Book journey!

Amazing Resource!
We used the Let’s Talk Together book with our 2 year old son, who loves to chat and picks up new concepts very quickly. I began by using songs and movement to introduce the new preposition vocabulary (over, under and we also used ‘on’). The book is a very high quality with fantastic relevant pictures for children of all ages. It is engaging and our little guy stayed on the activity for a long time – and built up his vocab of ‘over’ and ‘under’ during the activity. I also noticed him using the language the next day when we went to the playground!

A brilliant resource that is an essential in any special educators teaching tool kit. The layout with instructions and teaching hints allows this to be a resource that is easily used by support staff and families alike. The progress that students are making with engaging images, repetition and consolidation is outstanding. A high quality resource based on research. Must recommend to all special educators who want a ready made program to accompany individual teaching programs.
