This quickly became my 18 month-old's favorite nighttime book. It is great because it has become a game and engages his interest when he doesn't want to go to bed. It has helped him learn different phrases and get better at mimicking. I appreciate the layout and that there is just one activity per page.

I have a 9 month old grandson who is already enjoying your book. He can knock-knock, clap and pretend pop the bubbles. I am impressed with how quickly he has picked up these imitations. Thanks for helping to promote early communication skills!

It’s been so much fun to share this book with my 1 yr old grandson❣️ It’s been the first time he has stayed really focused on my lap with a book. He caught on really quickly to waiting for the action and sound, imitating the best he can and then happily turning the page! We’re up to 5-6 pages and counting! This book is a wonderful, engaging and rewarding “read” for little ones!

What a great book for little ones!

My 15 month old loves this book. He had the pages memorized within a week and will “smell the flowers” and open his mouth to say “ahhhh”. It’s amazing how quick he picked this up.

Bought the Imitation book for my 10 month old granddaughter and it was an instant hit! She wants to do read it over and over again and recognizes to look at the one reading after the verbal cue to see the accompanying action. She learned the high five after a couple of days, and is trying other actions as well. Love the book!

I purchased this for my granddaughter! Every time I pull this book out to read she gets so excited. My daughter in Law is a psychologist and she loved the book also!

The ads for the imitation book show a happy toddler responding to each picture with the appropriate, correct word. It seemed like a great way to actually engage our granddaughter with a book. She’s 1 year, 5 months and loves shouting out the matching word. (In 1/3 of the book, but loves the challenge and is interested in more. Love it!!!

My granddaughter LOVES this book! It’s so interactive and she is able to “read” it on her own at 2-1/2. Definitely a valued purchase for our household!!

My daughter is using it with my two year old grandson. It just two weeks his speech has improved so much! So grateful for this book!

I purchased this book at the suggestion of my godson’s speech therapist. He is 2 1/2 and speech delayed. This has become one of his favorite books because he is able to imitate the sounds. Thank you for creating this important tool to aid in his verbal communication skills. I have encouraged his parents to purchase the other books in your series. Thank you so much. I appreciate you.

I have looked at it but haven't read it to my granddaughter yet. As a retired SLP, I recognized the value of this book immediately! We used to create these books the best we could with little photo albums and Polaroids (I'm giving away my age!), but it was for this exact reason -- to get them imitating!!! My granddaughter is 1 1/2 and is receiving I/T services for gross and fine motor delays. She is in a bi-lingual home environment, which I totally support, but tends to delay that expressive vocabulary a bit. This is making the parents anxious. So I think if they read this book with her and she was imitating, they would see that her language is there and they would have so much fun with it!

The illustrations are really lazy, but the actions and prompts are good. It’s kind of giving AI slop in how it looks layout/design-wise. My kid has a speech delay, so I bought it hoping it would be helpful.

Cute book can’t wait for him to get to the imitation stage! Right now he just listens and watches everything I do 🥰

Love it! The interactiveness if it and simplicity is perfect for younger children.

As a reading specialist, I was hoping to learn more about supporting language development with your book. While you have a good product, your target audience is different from our needs.

Bought it for my niece’s baby shower. Baby isn’t born yet so it has not been used yet! But as an SLP, I LOVE IT!!!!
Laura F. 5/5 Verified
This is my 18 month olds favorite book. She takes it out and calls it her knock knock book. Almost all of her first words came from reading this book (all done, knock knock, hot, bubbles, pop, owie) and she really mastered blowing kisses, waving, high fives, and signing all done. 10/10. I’ve now purchased this book for two freshly turned 1 year olds.

My granddaughter loves this book. She is 11 months and she already does the popping of the bubbles after only being read to a few times. Thank you for correcting my order. I really appreciate it!

As a SLP, loved the imitations. Found visuals/illustrations to be not very interesting. A bit more illustrated action to accompany the imitation prompts would make it more interesting to children. More white space per page than recommended…

The book is cute. But I do t think I would purchase it again. The first two pages are not even for the kids. I would have preferred all of the educational pages for the parents to be a separate pamphlet or even in the back of the book.
