Honoured that @SPoyton has included our book in her magnificent story sack for her nephew. Singing and signing - what a terrific combination! Thank you. I'm sure he'll love it. Great ideas to encourage speech. @francescagam @EgmontUK

It's a fabulous idea, especially for those little ones struggling to find their voices. Singing and signing is a great avenue into speech, along with dinosaurs of course! We loved visiting your Story Snug too, Catherine, and for your kind words about our book.
