Customer Reviews

A totally delightful book.

This is an absolutely delightful book about how humans speak. It talks about the anatomy and physiology of speech, place and manner of articulation (without ever mentioning those, or any other, technical terms), and discusses why children learning language don't get all sounds right immediately. If you're a linguist, speech therapist, or anything similar, and you have kids, you REALLY want this book.
