Pipo learns to speak: First words and sounds for babies and toddlers

Pipo is a little mouse who is just learning to talk - and he wants your child to talk with him.

Pipo learns to speak is a first-words book for babies and toddlers, built around the simple sounds that come first: ma, pa, ba, wa, da, moo, la, me, more. Every page shows one big syllable or word in large, clear letters, a warm illustration of Pipo doing something familiar, and one short question that invites your little one to answer.

Inside you will find:

20 sound-and-word pages, from single syllables (MA, PA, BA, WA, DA) to first two-syllable words (MA-MA, BA-BY, DUCK-Y, YUM-MY, GIM-ME)

A short question on every page to turn reading into a real conversation

Animal and object sounds (moo, woof, peep, vroom) that toddlers love to imitate

Review and point-and-tell pages to practice the words already learned

A final checklist to tick off each new word, with space to write the date of the very first one

A page of practical tips for grown-ups: exaggerate the sound, repeat it slowly, wait five seconds, and celebrate every attempt

Written and illustrated for ages 0 to 3, it works at bedtime, mealtime, bath time, or in five quiet minutes a day. A gentle, encouraging companion for parents, grandparents, caregivers, speech therapists, and early-years teachers.

Five minutes a day. One word at a time.
