Children's Books

Discover interactive learning fun for little hands: Child development specialists have shown that children learn best when they acquire knowledge through multiple senses. Not only sight and sound, but touch as well, are critical elements in their development. Children love learning to name objects, and they are in for a multisensory treat with this big interactive book.

• Contains 150 words and 30 touch-and-feel elements 
• Features many things familiar in a young child's world
• Suitable for ages 1 to 4

Featuring spreads each with raised shaped objects that fit into scooped cutouts on their opposite page, TouchThinkLearn books offer the youngest learners an irresistible opportunity to explore their universe in a hands-on, multisensory 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—and experience—a pig by tracing 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 children a springboard for further conversations to encourage the language skills so crucial to later successful learning. 

Settle down for story time with You Are My Baby from Petit Collage. This sweet felt book all about love and family is perfect for reading together with your little one.

The comforting words and sentiment will build strong foundations for emotional awareness and development as your little one grows up. Made for ages 0+, this First Felt Book will become a family favorite to treasure. The pages of this book are printed using FSC paper and vegetable inks, and the touch-and-feel areas are made from 90% recycled felt.

A bird arrives, alights on a tree, finds a mate, and builds a nest. Soon its eggs will hatch and one brave hatchling will embark on its first flight. A deceptively simple and joyful celebration of the natural cycle of life, this book adds the bonus of removable—and movable—characters and scenery to the bestselling TouchThinkLearn format, featuring the hallmark production technique of glued-on pieces dovetailing with die-cut openings. In this first narrative title in the series, the movable pieces invite and involve the reader in a meaningful and multisensory participation in the story.

High design, brilliant graphics, essential learning skills—these features distinguish the TouchThinkLearn titles, presenting knowledge in a new dimension. Xavier Deneux applies the same unique vision that informed TouchThink-Learn: ABC to this year's most innovative counting book. Die-cut numerals and shapes stimulate understanding of essential concepts, inviting youngest readers to engage in a meaningful and tangible hands-on experience of numbers by tracing figures and shapes to coordinate concepts and images.
