DK baby touch and feel

For the very youngest mermaid fans, this cute, sparkly, touch and feel book is the perfect preschool book. With shimmery, shiny mermaids, a pearly underwater palace, friendly sea creatures, and intricate mermaid accessories, this is a delightful book to read aloud to little ones. Just right for sharing with babies and toddlers and encouraging their imaginative play and learning, inside the colorful characters and mermaid accessories are embellished with touch and feel patches or sparkly areas to explore. From a twinkling mermaid's tail and a bumpy seahorse, to a mermaid's soft flowing hair, a scaly turtle, and a pretty seashell mirror, Baby Touch and Feel: Mermaid features all sorts of delightful, mer-mazing things! Filled with early learning, every page has texture or an eye-catching shiny area to expand a baby or toddler's senses, and the simple design (with one main picture per page) is easy for very young children to follow. The images are bold, bright photos, perfect for little ones to focus on, and just right for helping their identification skills. Read-aloud, rhyming text and fun annotation accompanies the photos, and names the images, building language and picture-and-word association (helpful for early reading). The text also inspires role play, developing children's imaginations and creativity. This small baby board book is a good size for little hands to hold. Babies and toddlers will love turning the tough pages themselves, which develops their fine motor skills. Part of DK's popular Baby Touch and Feel series, this fun first mermaid book with its exciting sparkly jacket will appeal to little ones and stimulate their make-believe play
