I chose to write it for personal reasons because two of my children had delayed speech and I found it frustrating that there weren't any books of this kind available. Practising tongue and mouth movements is a great way to strengthen facial muscles and help speech development. I wanted something that was fun and child friendly to capture their concentration and which I could pick up and use on a daily basis. All children love making silly faces, so I hope this book will be a great addition to any child's book collection." - PREFACEReview: Karina has written this book to help children with delayed language development strengthen their facial muscles, and gain dexterity. All the illustrations are simple but effective black and white line drawings depicting Sam and his “Tommy Tongue” doing exercises. Children are invited to copy the resulting expressions. Amusing and entertaining, this book will help children learn without them realizing it.
