Monty, Pip and Blue: Where Has Blue Gone?

Monty, Pip and Blue: Where Has Blue Gone?A gentle point-and-find story built for children who aren't talking yet - nonverbal toddlers, late talkers, and visual learners who connect through pointing, looking, and repetition rather than words.Meet Monty, Pip and Blue: three baby dinosaurs who spend their days at the park doing the same three things, every time. Monty always heads for the sand. Pip always heads for the water. Blue always heads up high.Then one day, Blue goes missing - and the story asks the same gentle question, again and again: can you find Blue? She's never really hidden. She's always there, waiting to be spotted, pointed at, and cheered for.This book is designed to be joined in with, not just read aloud. Every action comes with a simple three-beat rhythm grown-ups and children can say and do together - dig, dig, dig... splash, splash, splash... up, up, up. Pointing counts as an answer. So does looking, reaching, or turning the page. There's nothing to get wrong.A unique Point and Look page opens the book and a matching Can You Find? page closes it, each with five simple pictures - tree, sandpit, pool, ball, bird, and moon. Grown-ups can use these pages to keep the game going well beyond the story itself, prompting the child to spot and point to each object again once the book is finished, for extra engagement and repeat play every time you read.Perfect for: - SEN and nonverbal toddlers who communicate visually before they speak- Late talkers and children building early joint attention and pointing skills- Parents, carers, and speech and language therapists looking for a repeatable, low-pressure way to engage a child who isn't speaking yet- Nurseries, preschools, and children's libraries building a visual, interactive collection- Quiet, predictable bedtime or wind-down reading, with a soft ending that mirrors how it beganA lovely addition to any home, nursery, SLT toolkit, or library shelf - same three friends, every single time, because for a child who isn't talking yet, knowing exactly what comes next is what makes it safe to join in.
