Clothes [board book] / by Alexander, Rilla,author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)552055;
"Dimensional letters and words are the natural extension of the original TTL series. And we know that dimensionalizing letters is a successful direction for this series given the strong response to TTL ABC. This extension of the highly successful TouchThinkLearn series focuses on language acquisition and moving beyond a single word-to-picture understanding to developing a larger vocabulary. This is all using the familiar TTL form of raised and depressed surfaces. Raised words will fit into the die-cut hollow of an illustration, putting words and images in contact literally. Alongside the typographic centerpiece, there will be a list of "conversation starter" words to expand the vision of each word. And this new TouchWords series will extend the visual range of these books by featuring Rilla's playful, graphic work."--Ages 2-4
