Accelerate your toddler's education in first words and colors using this engaging book designed by a professional artist and licensed speech pathologist. Wishy Washy takes your young child on an adventure as they learn new words through life-like paintings, bright colors, and an animal friend who guides them along the way. This book is more dynamic than other basic first words or color books because its pictures and words were strategically chosen to start with early developing phonemes (b, p, m, d, t) and to teach your child words they can easily say or approximate at a very young age (9 months to 2 years old) like puppy vs. elephant. Wishy Washy also provides tips for parents to help them encourage verbal approximations (acceptable substitutes). Plus, this engaging book comes with an attached wooden paintbrush and faux paint palette--a tactile, interactive tool that will provide your child with multi-sensory learning and help them better retain information on each page.
