A Fish to Feed (Board book)

A toddler and Dad go shopping, searching for a pet fish. They find and talk about lots of other fish along the way, but where is a fish to feed? Toddlers will love peeping through the die-cut holes as they try to spot that special fish to feed. What's more, adults can learn ways to support toddler language development from A Fish to Feed.

Small Talk Books TM are playful stories featuring young children and adults talking and having fun together. The books also show adults how to build young children's language through conversation, during everyday small moments together. Frequent Small Talks add up to big learning gains for young children!

Adult characters in the stories model fun and enriching ways to talk with babies and young children. In A Fish to Feed, the father talks a lot with his toddler about what interests the child. He responds to the child's two words in different ways that all provide the child with more language.

Each book in the series also contains a note by early childhood language and literacy expert Dr. Betty Bardige, author of Talk to Me, Baby! How You Can Support Young Children's Language Development.
