Featuring scooped-out die-cuts matched to raised, shaped elements, these two new TouchThinkLearn books offer youngest learners an irresistible opportunity to explore their universe in a hands-on, multi-sensory way. Seeing the image, tracing its shape, saying its name: These modes of perception combine in a dynamic way to stimulate understanding of essential concepts. Discover a pig by following  its raised outline on one side, and the concave form of the mud puddle it wallows in on the other! Clusters of related words on each spread offer parents and child a springboard for further conversation to encourage the language skills so crucial to later successful learning. In a format unlike any other, these groundbreaking books translate abstract thought into tangible knowledge.
