                      Synopsis

                      This fun, bold, read-aloud book has been designed to captivate children from a young age. Research shows that the more senses you engage while reading to bubs positively impacts the development of their language and comprehension skills. That’s why Say Hello can be read and sung, and has simple, high-contrast illustrations featuring many recognisable words. Plus, it explores thing babies enjoy doing – from splashing water to kicking balls, shaking a rattle to making a muddy mess – this is an interactive books that gives babies a lot of chances to participate.
