TouchThinkLearn: Shapes Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Combining scooped-out die-cuts with raised, shaped elements, two new TouchThinkLearn books offer youngest learners an irresistible opportunity to explore their universe in a hands-on, multisensory way. See the image, trace its shape, say its name: these modes of perception combine in a dynamic way to stimulate understanding of essential concepts. Contemplate a circle by touching the raised surface of an owl hooting at night on one side, and the form of a moon rising on the other. Featuring a format unlike any other, these groundbreaking books translate abstract thought into tangible knowledge.

This is a very unique, beautiful book. However, I feel that I like it more than my baby. There are not that many pictures in it, and my toddler lost interest in the book very quickly. Adults with sophisticated/designer taste, would certainly appreciate it, kids - not so much.
This product baffles me, in a bad way. The material taught in this book is for children less than 1 year old. Children at that age learn best touching and feeling things - and it teaches basic concepts like shapes. However, there is a warning that it is a CHOKING HAZARD for children less than 3. I can see why. The little shapes on the last page were falling off. I returned it right away. Even Barnes and Noble was selling this in the baby section even though its not intended for children less than 3.I think its totally irresponsible to sell this book intended for children younger than 3 while knowing its a choking hazard for children under 3!
I've never seen a children's book that looks as cool as this series.[Good]The art style is clean and minimalist.Illustrates the concepts of shapes really well. For every two pages, one page will have a shape indentation in the cardboard. The other opposing page has the same shape protruding, which fits into the indentation. It provides for a lot of texture for touch.[Bad]Some indented pages are not very durable because they weren't sealed. Eventually your baby will be able to rip portions of it off. This will vary by page.[Misc]This series has four books total. I highly recommend all of them.You really need to see these books in person at a local bookstore. Online pictures aren't enough.[Verdict]If you're a industrial or graphic designer, architect, or you just appreciate design aesthetics in general; this is a great book for both you and your children. This is totally coffee book material.
I like to read this book with my 4 month old. It's easy to look at because the colors are bright, and the shapes are integrated into animals or real life objects (for example, the owl on the cover is for circle - for its eyes). However, because she probably prefers contrasts at this age (more of the black and white type pictures) she shows moderate interest. But I still like to go over this book with her at least once every other day.
This is such a clever and attractive book! My daughter loves this book. The pages are fun and creative. The shapes are clearly obvious and it makes learning the shapes easy for my daughter. This has become her most favorite book! I would buy this product and other books by this author again! Highly recommended!
The cutouts that illustrate the shapes are clean and clear, so it's a tactile as well as visual experience, reinforcing the concepts. The pages are thick, the binding sturdy, making me want to buy all Deneux's books for my 19 month grand baby.
This book is so cool, particularly for a baby board book. I love the minimalist style and would be proud to display this on my coffee table. It's a unique way to learn about shapes and may even be more fun for the Moms and Dads reading it.
Such a cute book for little toddlers. Bright colors and the cut outs on each page keep my grandkids interested. I love this series and have purchased all of them. So glad to see has these.
