TouchThinkLearn: Feelings — Xavier Deneux

Next up for the original TouchThinkLearn series, FEELINGS engages with classic emotions, from joy to anger. Like the original TTL titles, this ingenious continuation uses the same cut-out ''depressed'' areas of the page as a creative space. The groundbreaking TouchThinkLearn books offer the youngest learners an opportunity to explore in a hands-on, multisensory way. Seeing the image, tracing its shape, saying its name . . . these modes of perception combine to stimulate understanding of essential concepts. Related words on each spread offer parents and children a springboard for further conversation to encourage the language skills crucial to later successful learning. In a format unlike any other, these groundbreaking books translate abstract thought into tangible knowledge.
