Review

Fabian fish finger is fascinated by fish and desperately wants to be a fish himself. Join him as he tries to swim with them and, as a little magic happens, he learns to say the /f/ sound to make his dream come true.

Fabian Fish Finger is the third book in a series aimed at children who have simple speech sound delays. The author, Julie, is a Consultant Speech and Language therapist based in the United Kingdom. She wrote a series of three picture books to provide a resource for parents, grandparents and other carers to help them address their children's simple speech sound delays.

Other books in the series include Colin's Missing Feathers (for /k/ and /g/ speech sound errors) and Mark and the Magic Boat (for final consonant deletion - deleting the final sounds of words). All books in the series are available as ebooks through Amazon and include accompanying activities. For more information, visit Julie's website.
