As we turn each page of the bright board book, we meet a new little person. Each has different things they love to do. On the left is a bright image of them doing an activity, from wearing grandpa’s hat, to sitting and listening to a story or joyfully splashing water about. On the right page are the simple words.

Say hello to Jake.

He loves to make his rattle shake.

Say hello to Grace.

She loves to pull a funny face

The publishers of this book remind us that the more senses you engage with babies when you read to them the more positive impact you have on the development of their language and comprehension. With Say Hello you can read or sing the words which makes it even more engaging.

The images are simple with bright contracting colours. With simple sing-song text there’s much for adults to use to interact with their littlest.
