That's Not My Train

These Usborne tough-feely books are perfect for emerging readers. Part of a series of board books aimed at very young children they combine bright pictures with patches of texture that have been designed to stimulate the senses as well as language awareness. Babies and toddlers will be able to turn the thick board pages and touch all the patches whilst listening to the words.

The pictures are vibrant, filling the whole page and clearly identifying a number of different types of trains as well as the different elements of a train such as its windows, funnel, roof and engine. Children will learn all about trains as well as about different materials and begin to develop skills allowing them to recognise shapes, materials and words

Tactile, bold with a simple and minimal text, the focus is on language and senses encouraging recognition and directing the child to the pictures via the words. Perfect for sharing with small children to encourage sensory development and a love of books.
