This creative team also produced Say Hooray, a joyful celebration of some of the milestones in a baby’s first year. Say Hello is another quality board book with bold bright colours and a short rhyming text, perfect to capture the attention of babies and toddlers.

We say hello to lots of babies, each engaged in some familiar activity. These can range from flicking food off a plate, splashing water, pulling a funny face to sitting and listening to a story. The action varies from very active  to quiet time.

Each spread has a standout high contrast image placed in the centre opposite two lines of rhyming text. Babies will learn and practice many worlds and actions as well as names. This book is a little goldmine of interactive fun for babies and their carers, sparking lots of conversation and activity.

A teaching activity and teaching notes are available on the website.
