Across the pages of this little book, you will find your favourite
character doing activities that will put a smile on every child’s face.
All this is combined with sounds that are important for early speech
development: vowels, simple syllables and onomatopoeia.
Come and join the fun! Look at the pictures, touch them, and read the
sounds written on them. Together with your child, repeat the gestures
made by Paddy (you can help your little one by steering his hand). Speak
clearly and add emotion to what you say – this attracts your child’s
attention and encourages him to mimic you.
You will find plenty more examples of onomatopoeia (which are an
important part of speech development) in our book called Paddy
Learns to Speak.
