Let's Go, Kitty! is an adorable little book written to help facilitate early communication with simple words. There is a guide at the front to make the most out of the book, and it is filled with cute eye-catching illustrations. This is a great option for anyone with babies to toddlers in their lives.

This was a cute book with fun illustrations. The kitty will definitely capture a young child’s attention.

I appreciate the simplicity and repetition, good for building out simple words and sounds. The illustrations also give lots to discuss and enjoy with early readers who are y ready for something more complex or time consuming.

4 stars.

ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Review to come a few days before the release day in August on my blog/other places.

I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

I am so sorry but I just cannot resist a cute picture book with a cute cat on it! Plus, the premise of this one sounded superduper fun!

This is a picture book mostly told by speech sounds, actions, and a couple of very easy sentences. Which makes this story very fun and playful and gave me manga manga/graphic novel vibes (with all the sound effects in those). In this cute little picture book we meet a little cat and a boy. They are spending a whole day together doing all sorts of fun things! From drinking something together (drink drink drink) to playing together (bounce bounce bounce) to getting stuck in the tree (help help help). It was just so fun and this will definitely be a fantastic book for babies and toddlers to learn them early things. Plus, of course, the story is freaking cute and that helps! The kitty and the boy were adorable, I definitely wanted to give the kitty a big hug (yes, I am allergic but I will take it, haha).

The illustrations were so fabulous, I love the style, if I would have to describe it I would say it is very soft and playful.

Oh, and I love the introduction to the book in which we learn some more about speech, gestures, and sounds. While I have no plans on getting kids, if I had them and they were young enough I would have definitely used this book + did even more research on things. It is so interesting. Like, I have seen people teach babies sign language so they can tell you what they need through gestures. So nice!

All in all, this is not just a cute book but also learns both adults and babies/toddlers something fun and new. I would recommend it!

Will make the perfect gift to loved ones with young children! The graphics are adorable. Gifted Let's Go Puppy to friends and family and it was a hit.

This book was so cute! My niece loved it and she asked me to read it to her multiple times! I will definitely be buying this for her!!!

I really like that this book provides advice for parents or guardians to help their children speak. While this cannot replace a speech pathologist if necessary, I do think that this can provide a parent some of the tools to work with their child on their speech. I’m pursuing a degree in Speech Pathology, and this book covers a lot that I have learned.

The illustrations in this book are adorable! This may make it an especially useful tool for a parent.

As a former SLP myself, this is the exact type of book I often looked for to recommend to my clients and their caregivers. The illustrations are engaging and appealing to younger audiences with plenty of opportunities to model words beyond the text of the book. A perfect follow up to "Let's Go, Puppy" and a great addition to your bookshelf if you're a parent, caregiver, or supportive professional of any child developing early speech sounds.

An excellent book that lays foundation for strong literacy skills.

The beginning pages gives caregivers ideas for how to expand on and use the book effectively.

The book itself is cute and I love the ideas for making it interactive and memorable. It's all things I try to do when I'm reading books in story times with babies and preschoolers. I wish there were more books like this!

Holly's done it again. This delightful romp through Kitty's day is both fun and useful to me as an SLP. It has those high-frequency, early developing words; it has the repetition I'm going for in a session, and it catches the eye with those adorable illustrations by Emil Rutherford. I loved the first book (Let's Go, Puppy) and I'm adding this one to my list of faves as well.

I loved this companion book to author Holly Rosensweig’s previous board book “Let’s Go, Puppy”. Emily Rutherford’s charming illustrations are featured once again and observant readers may notice the puppy makes a surprise appearance in this story line. This would be a worthwhile addition to baby’s first library and a favorite to explore with parents or caregivers . The bonus is that early language development can take place while enjoying time together. I highly recommend both books!

What a great book for pre-k students age other young readers! I loved the adorable illustrations and the frequent use of high frequency words. Strongly recommend!!

I love this book as much as I love “Let’s Go Puppy!” I was given early access to read it, and the toddlers that I have shared it with love it too! I will be adding this book to my personal collection of books that I use in therapy when it comes out in August. I will also recommend it to the families of children I serve. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I see how invaluable reading with your child can be. This book also gives wonderful information to parents about speech and language strategies. The kids love to try and imitate the exclamatory words on each page, and the illustrations are beautiful.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an arc to read, review, and rate.
As a parent of a child that had speech issues, I can appreciate that this book focuses on simple words and actions with illustrations that match as well as a guide on things to go and encourage in the front. This book can be a useful tool for parents of littles, regardless if they are working with a therapist or not.

This picture book was fantastic in encouraging early literacy skills! There are repetitive words as well as a strong storyline. The repetition allows kids to recognize words and potentially sound them out as they become readers. The familiarity can also boost reader confidence. The actions words throughout the story also make it easy to keep little ones engaged. The art was beautiful, but not overwhelming. The tips for caregivers at the beginning are super handy as well! Highly recommend this book!

This book has so many cute images that children will love. I really enjoy the simple lessons and the tips at the beginning for adults to use while reading with kids. I look forward to sharing this book with the little ones in my life.

Very cute illustrations and I can definitely see this being a book that little ones can enjoy. Also one that won’t parents won’t mind reading over and over again.

We loved this book! My son is 15 months and working on his first words, and he loved this book. This is perfect for reading to littles who aren’t ready for a full sit-down story, but are interested in books. The illustrations were adorable and it is a great read.

I loved the simplicity of this book for developing reading with infants. It has great prompt for inexperienced parents in the cover. It uses a good range of early vocabulary with engaging pictures and lots of repetition. Delightful. Definitely one to recommend.

This is a super cute book to encourage babies and toddlers to talk about things going on around them. I have a 2 year old and he loves kitties so this was interesting for him. The pictures were fun and the content was relevant for a baby or toddler. I think it was great that there isn't an overwhelming amount of background detail in the pictures as well. I appreciate that there's a parent guide and an early speech sounds infographic at the beginning of the book.
