Inspired by the Montessori method of education, this tactile book of textures engages children with the natural world through touch and encourages children to interact imaginatively with their environment.  Young readers can squish the sea sponge, scrape the rough tree bark, and touch the sheep’s fluffy fleece while learning about the natural world around them. 

Question prompts throughout the pages encourage imaginative thinking, critical reasoning, and exploration.  Inviting front cover with die cut, textured child’s hand.
