There's lots for toddlers to explore in See, Touch, ABC. Following on from Priddy's exciting new title See, Touch, Create, publishing in Fall 2019, this sturdy board book is specially designed to stimulate toddlers through creative pictures and help them learn first words.
Each page has a colorful illustration made up of footprints, handprints, child friendly art, or a photo. With lots of bright pictures to explore together and core first words to learn, See, Touch, ABC is the perfect first book to share with your baby.
With raised textured pages to feel, this book encourages the development of motor skills and sensory exploration, making it a fabulous addition to any child's first-learning library.

My one-year-old was riveted by the textures and bright colors. The pictures are a clever homage of children's art. For example, the majority of alphabetic animals are made of child-size hand or foot prints. "C is for cat" uses a "potato chip" to make the cat's head. Appealing to little ones, for sure!
A touch and feel alphabet book for babies and toddlers. Each page has a different letter of the alphabet and an image representing that letter. The child can touch and feel the letters and images.
This is a high quality book with nicely presented images. I like that the child can touch and feel them. It adds another dimension to the experience of reading the book.
My only criticism is that some of the images look a little like a modern art rendition. For example, I had to look twice at the the elephant on the "E" page to recognize it as an elephant! I would have liked the images to be a little more clear and less artsy.
The 2 year old that I read to enjoys this book and asks for it often!
My daughter will probably say "You already gave the kids two different ABC books; did we need another?" Yes, yes they do. This is delightful. I especially liked that most of the pictures used a variation of hand or footprints to make the pictures. There is just enough feeling created by the raised print/paint to entertain and engage too. Love it.
