More than an ABC book, this is a treat for the senses!

[Levi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great take on the classic ABC book. I enjoyed the raised lettering and the bold colors. So did my daughter... plenty of drool marks already!

I dunno. My one-year-old likes the tactile nature of the book, but he's way too young to care about the alphabet. It is fun to pick up such a hefty tome.

my favorite quote: "Zebra"

Esmé and I and even Geoff love this book. I knew we would like it even before I bought it. I need more sensory books, but this one is so gorgeous I can't imagine any that are better--the art is just fun to look at. There's not much "reading"--one letter and one word per letter--but the book is more like an object to be experienced than to be read, and Esmé enjoys the experience very much. The first time we read it, she went back to the beginning and flipped through half the pages again! That's a great review from an 8 month old. The back of the books says it's for ages 2-4, so it's fairly young for her I suppose, but I will be sure to supervise her when she reads it in case that suggestion has anything to do with safety.

This is board book, like most others in the TouchThinkLearn series have three-dimensional illustrations that encourage young readers to enjoy this book that fit cleverly into slots on the opposite page, nested into the pictures. Other books in the TouchThinkLearn series include TouchThinkLearn: 123 and TouchThinkLearn: Opposites.

A book that is as creative as it is educational. This book is a touch and feel book, which lets the children see, feel, and capture the letters of the alphabet. This is a wonderful hands on book that allows for children to access the alphabet in a completely different way.

I love that this book is full of pop textures, and raises and sunken in letters. This can help children who learn more hands on a wonderful chance to learn the alphabet their own way. This is a must have book for an early childhood classroom.

Clever format. I think some pages are better than others. The way letters that are raised on one side fit into the indentations on the other side is enjoyable to put together to make the page flat. The bright colors are inviting for young readers.

This book is absolutely gorgeous. I don't know how this author manages to be so creative and precise, but my kid loves this book almost as much as I like to read it with him.

This hefty tome is worth it's weight! So clever! ABC is a great way to learn about the alphabet. I couldn't keep my fingers from the die cut illustrations!

[Jennifer B. · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nice, tactile book for helping kids learn their ABCs. Nicely bright and colorful, too.

[Lynn Davidson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This gorgeous board book is 2" (5 cm) thick. Each page is cut out, beautifully illustrated, and unlike any book I've seen to date. It's eye catching, simple, and fun.

It's sort of Art book. Full of imagination and creativities, with elegant colors and shapes. My little loves to read it, touch it and eat it.

[Marissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really imaginative and fun, plus it's tactile!

[Christine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful! The colors, illustrations, and quality are amazing! And my 11 month old loves touching it. Excited to read the others in the series. Highly recommend.

This is a cool 3d book for learning the alphabet.

[Emma · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very clever alphabet book. I really like that the letters are raised and tactile, as literacy is so much more than just visual. Illustrations are very fun as well.

[Elaine Johnson · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's neat, but I'm disappointed. Kind of expensive for what it is. It is Big and sturdy though. Will last forever.

[Mama Bearian · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this unique book, raised die cut letters fit into cutouts on the opposite pages. It adds a sensory element to the alphabet book that your littlest readers will enjoy.

My grandchild loved this book and it’s feel

[Tallmadge · Rating 5 out of 5]

Obsessed (S). For pretty much the entirety of month 10.

[Tony Loyer · Rating 2 out of 5]

The most unique thing about this book is that the letters kind of stick out and fit into the pages on the other side of the book. Nice big blocky illustrations

Although I might not necessarily use this book to teach the ABCs, I would use it to support the teaching of the alphabet since tactile learners could touch the letters that fill its pages. But since some of the cut-outs are in reverse order--"D," for instance, as it pops out of its original spot--some early readers would become confused and need guidance. I love the creativity of display since the sturdy, cleverly-designed pages also feature animals and objects that start with a particular letter of the alphabet, and youngsters can also trace those with their fingers; for instance, a kite high in the sky accompanies the letter "K." Each page has something interesting to note, ranging from A to Z with fascinating examples all the way through. The letter "Z" is visually stunning and eye-popping with all those stripes of different hues. The book and its examples will make youngsters think about what they are discovering about letters. Where, oh, where were books like this one when I was a little one?

1) No awards
2) Pre-k
3) Learn your ABCs when you both read and feel this book. Each letter has its own picture and the child can look at pictures familiar to them. With only one word for each letter a child can learn an easy word with a new letter as well.
4)This book offers both a visual and a kinesthetic aspect when learning letters. It is extremely simple with one word, one picture and per one letter making it easier to focus on the letters themselves. Its large size and thick pages make it a long lasting book for multiple uses.
5) One use for this book could be for those with a visual impairment. It will allow them to learn what the letter might look like without seeing it. Another use may be just for entertainment for the children. Since it is so simplistic it does not have much too it, so it is best to use it as a review and entertainment.

Es tracta d’un abecedari visual on a cada doble pàgina veiem una o dues imatges i també, la lletra per la qual comença l'animal o objecte representat. Al costat hi trobem la paraula amb anglès i la seva traducció al català.
Un llibre amb un munt de possibilitats que, gràcies al seu original disseny resulta ideal per despertar en els més petits, els sentits de la vista i el tacte. El relleu de les lletres i les figures permeten als nens i nenes resseguir les diferents grafies amb els dits, un recurs que pot ser molt interessant, arribat el moment.
Aquest autor és especialista en aquest tipus de creacions.

TouchThinkLearn: ABC... a gorgeous well-styled alphabet book enjoyed by children and graphic designers alike. The colorful illustrations and laser cut letters provide an elegant solution to teaching the alphabet. Each letter and corresponding picture is embossed and debossed with thick paperboard, and many of the images feel interactive. The book is surprisingly not too heavy.

Recommend for your little reader. [Children's book. Great for ages 18 months+.]

Beautifully designed book. Interactive with the tactile cutouts for little fingers to explore. Though the concept of the alphabet is early for my 18 month old this is one of his favorite books.
