Baby Touch: Feelings

Happy, sad, surprised and sleepy each get a page here, with a texture to touch while an adult puts a name to the face. Baby Touch: Feelings introduces basic emotions through clear illustration and very short wording, giving carers a simple vocabulary to use during everyday moments. Naming feelings early supports later emotional language, and the tactile element keeps a baby engaged with the page while that naming happens. The board pages and rounded format stand up to the handling this age group tends to give a book. Early emotional language: • One clearly drawn emotion presented per spread • Textured areas that hold a baby's attention while naming happens • Wording short enough to repeat during daily routines • A durable board format for babies and toddlers Useful for parents, carers and early-years settings, published by Ladybird Books and available at Boipoka.
